Congratulations to our very own A'Niyah Coates! The 25-26 school year launches a new opportunity for our biomedical science scholars at ACCTC. Ms. Tammie Newman, aunt of former student Emily Heath, established the Emily Heath Legacy Fund. This fund covers first year fees for three deserving students. As Ms. Newman noted, the fund provides students with "the 'financial wings' to soar into the Biomedical Sciences as our Emily would have wanted." Emily Heath was a student in the initial cohort of our Biomedical Science program, a pioneer of the Biomedical Science Outreach Team, and our first student to earn BACE certification.
We are proud to announce the 2025-2026 recipients of the Emily Heath Legacy Fund:
Molly Bane, Midland Valley High School
A'Niyah Coates, Silver Bluff High School
Hannah Neal, Midland Valley High School

This week in Ms. Spires and Ms. Ratcliff's chemistry classes the students conducted a Flame Test Lab, an engaging experiment where they were able to see different colors produced by heating various elements.
The students enjoyed seeing the science come alive and were able to directly observe how this principle is applied in real-world contexts such as fireworks, neon signs, and even forensic investigations. It was a great hands-on learning experience that connected abstract ideas about electrons and energy to something colorful, memorable, and practical.
If you enjoy science and want to better understand this concept here is the science behind this activity: when a chemical compound is heated, the electrons absorb energy and move to higher energy levels. As they fall back to their normal state, they release that energy as light. Each element has its own unique electron arrangement, so each produces a specific color—almost like a fingerprint. For example, sodium produces a bright yellow flame, potassium shows violet, and strontium gives off red.
