At this time we are pausing the Trex School Recycling program at WBMS. We want to extend a huge thank you to the entire WBMS community for supporting this program. Over the last 2.5 years, the Webb Bridge community has collected over 700 pounds of soft plastic for recycling! This is 700 pounds of plastic that will never find its way into our waterways, pollute our ecosystems, and endanger our marine wildlife. We hope that you have formed a lifelong habit and will continue to recycle soft plastics on your own. Kroger has been an amazing partner in this program, and you can continue to drop off soft plastics (#2 and #4) in their collection receptacles. We look forward to beginning the recycling program again in August 2025, when the new school year begins. Thank you again Jaguars!
Engineering Pathway
Courses within Alpharetta High School’s engineering pathway is made of three class Foundations of Engineering, Engineering Concepts, and Engineering Applications. Students in the first year learn various power tools, SolidWorks, (computer aided design) and Arduino programming. Then progress in the second year to having more control of their projects and skills including milling and welding. In final year of the pathway students have total control of the engineering projects and skills.
Example Projects completed during the pathway designing and building a cardboard chair. Designing, Building and Racing Small Air Compressed Cars. Automatic Can Crusher, anything involving , motors, pneumatics, and microcontrollers.
At the end of the pathway, students will earn a pathway completer certificate and a metal. Pathway completers will sit for the End-of-Pathways Assessment where they can earn the End-of Pathway cord for graduation. Both recognitions are great for resumes.
IB- Design Technology: International Baccalaureate’s new designing course focuses on product design from raw material to final product with an effort to ensure the product is a benefit to society.
Examples are: Sudden Cardiac Arrest Detection Device, a gimbal for a video camera, ultrasonic walking stick for the blind, anything a student can imagine and design.
