I go to the DATA program at Ed White Middle School. Here's a bit about the program explaining what the program is, and about the school it's at!
Embedded Files
DATA is a program for gifted students. It stands for Design and Technology Academy. We have two special classes at Data- Tech Apps and Tech Media. This project was made in our Tech Media class, with our teacher Mr. Hicks! He guided us through all our projects.
Our school mascot is a bald eagle.
Ed White Middle School was formed in 1970, three years after the astronaut Edward Higgins White II unfortunately passed away in 1967. White was born 1930 in San Antonio, Texas. Before his career in aeronautics, he was a second lieutenant of the Air Force. He was chosen as the second group of astronauts to take part in the missions of the Gemini and the Apollo spacecrafts. At the time of his death, he had two children and a wife named Patricia Eileen Finegan. He won several awards, including the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, the NASA Exceptional Service Award, and the Air Force commendation Medal. White and fellow astronauts, Gus Grissom, and Roger B. Chaffee all passed away in 1967 in a fire in the aircraft. Ed White Middle School is named in honor of him!

Who should come to DATA?
If you have a special interest in software design, technology, graphic design, or anything similar, DATA would be a great option as your middle school! I originally thought it was an art school, but I still think that what we learn can be very helpful and interesting as tech becomes a part of more and more peoples' daily lifes.
Core classes
Your core classes are the same ones that every other middle school has: math, social studies, science, and ELAR. Our great teachers for the core classes are Mrs. Starr-Burt, Mrs. Stubbins, Mr. Kelly, and Mr. Wayment. They're all awesome teachers, who will help you a lot and are very kind and funny. You also have your choice of any elective- strings, theatre, art, and choir!
Tech Classes
Unlike other schools, we have two classes that regular schools don't have- Tech Media and Tech Apps, taught by Mr. Hicks and Mr. Garcia. These classes are exclusive to the DATA program! Tech Media is the class that I made this entire portfolio in, and all the projects in it. You learn all the programs and how they work, stuff that we are really lucky to do. In Tech Apps, you learn all the definitions of malware concepts or any parts of the computer. Your teacher for Tech apps, Mr. Garcia, is very fun and he will probably end up being your favorite teacher!
