ASMS seniors Ricardo Millhouse and Pei Lin have each received one of the most prestigious awards a high school senior can earn: a 2009 Bill Gates Millennium Scholarship. “We are thrilled for these students and this is truly an honor for our school,” says ASMS College Counselor Julie Hoffmeyer. Each Gates Millennium Scholarship will cover all tuition, fees, books, and living expenses at the colleges of their choice through graduate school. Each year, only 1000 GMS awards are announced nationwide. Over the past nine years, five ASMS students have won a GSM, including Millhouse and Lin. |

STUDYING THE AIR: PHYSICS STUDENTS BUILD MACHINES TO DETECT POLLUTION
Is the air in Mobile safer before or after a hurricane? In terms of air quality, is it healthier to jog at 6:00 AM or during Mobile rush-hour traffic? A handful of ASMS physics students have embarked on a three-year study to answer these and other air-quality and weather-related questions.

Chandler Fulton 
The gallery is now showing MOVE!, which includes three of ASMS graduate Chandler Fulton Pritchett's watercolor videos and a selection of paintings that were developed along with the videos. Move! references historical movements and revolutions in American culture. The artwork includes many references to the politics and pop art of the late sixties and early seventies. The videos in the show include a recreation of 67 shots fired at the Kent State student protests of 1970, a character study of pop artist Sister Corita Kent, and a parade turned civil rights rally called "Dizzy America." More information and a link to Pritchett's blog can be found at www.chandlerpritchett.com.
