2011 ANNUAL REPORT
WHERE IS ASMS HEADED?At the start of 2011, ASMS community members – faculty, staff, students, alumni, board members, and parents – worked together to develop a strategic plan that will build upon the school’s strengths to create a vibrant and sustainable future. The plan will position ASMS to meet challenges, grow, and create opportunities that enhance student learning for success in a changing world.
As the ASMS Family was beginning the process of Strategic Planning for 2011-2015, one member of the faculty summed up the entire effort with the words stated above. Yes, strategic planning is an essential function of any organization headed in the right direction. As the faculty member so eloquently stated, ASMS has to have an understanding of where we are now regarding programs, facilities, curriculum—just to name a few key areas. Only then can we attempt to develop a plan of where we need to be next year and even in the year 2015.
Bring All Stakeholders to the TableIt was critical that every group in the ASMS Family be invited to participate in strategic planning discussions. Ultimately, six planning committees were formed: Budget and Finance, Infrastructure, Student Life, Academic Programs, Mission, and Alumni/Parents. Each committee consisted of approximately four faculty members, two staff members, and a representative from each of these stakeholders—students, alumni, board members, and parents. This proved to be an excellent idea, producing lively discussions and fruitful recommendations.
One concern that I have heard over and over is that we not complete the Strategic Plan for 2011-2015 and merely place it on the shelf to be forgotten until it is time to do the next one! I commit to all the stakeholders that have worked so diligently on this plan to make it a “real” part of what we do at ASMS. Each year for the next five years, I plan for us to systematically review and act on each recommendation made. If our goal is to make ASMS the very best that it can be for our students, then this Strategic Plan developed by all stakeholders can serve as the vehicle to deliver the excellence our students deserve.
Please enjoy this issue of Angles, as it highlights what makes ASMS such a special school. In particular, enjoy reading about our remarkable alumni.
Finally, I would like to especially thank the many donors who are listed on pages 18-20. ASMS is a better place thanks to their generous support!
Sincerely, Larry V. Turner, Ed.D.

DURING ITS 20-YEAR HISTORY, the Alabama School of Mathematics and Science has endeavored to educate Alabama’s future leaders by offering exceptional academic and residential life experiences that uniquely prepare our students for college and beyond. Now, at the dawn of the school’s third decade, ASMS is poised to reach new heights by building on strengths and addressing opportunities for tangible and sustainable growth.
In 2011, changing conditions are continuing to demand successful solutions. Significant budget reductions in Alabama’s Education Trust Fund (ETF), aging buildings, an increased desire for ASMS to meet the educational needs of an ever-more-diverse pool of students, and progressive ideas in education offer challenging opportunities for ASMS to grow. To address these opportunities, ASMS has launched a five-year strategic plan.
Every facet of this plan springs from and aligns with the ASMS mission: “Founded in a rigorous math and science curriculum with emphasis on responsible leadership, ASMS will develop the full potential of exceptional students from across the state of
Alabama, first serving the needs of those without local access to challenging educational opportunities.”
The participation of alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and board members has been essential. First, more than 500 ASMS community members kick-started the process by responding to an online survey that assisted in identifying strengths as well as areas for growth. Next, using the survey responses as a barometer, students, staff, faculty, parents, alumni, board members, and citizen leaders served on six planning committees: Budget and Finance, Infrastructure, Student Life, Academic Programs, Mission, and Alumni/Parents. Finally, each committee has formulated a report that clarifies strengths, pinpoints opportunities for growth, and frames action items that will help to lead ASMS into the future.
“There is no doubt that this community deeply cares for our school,” says ASMS President Dr. Larry Turner. “And we sincerely appreciate those who participated in this critical process. The task now is to implement the strategic plan and

Sustaining the Mission
5-YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN
make it a ‘real’ part of what we do over the next five years.”
In their reports, the six planning committees have asserted that ASMS should focus on the following areas:
Academic Excellence BudgetInfrastructureStudent LifeStudent, Parent, Alumni, and Staff InteractionSustainment of the Mission
The following are committee recommendations that will be further researched for their viability and subsequently implemented over the next five years. These recommendations reflect a sampling.
Academic Excellence ASMS students are the school’s greatest resource – diverse, highly motivated, and insatiably curious. ASMS’s strategic plan has consistent academic excellence as its first focus – but not because scholarly attainments are an end in themselves. Increased academic excellence at ASMS is for the purpose of graduating students who are positioned to be innovators in their fields, leaders among their peers, and good citizens to the world. There is little doubt that ASMS offers a top-notch education thanks to the advanced courses offered as well as the dedicated and highly qualified faculty and staff. Listed below are recommended actions that can facilitate growth: • Create an online forum in which the southeastern schools of math and science can exchange ideas and information regarding best practices, research, instruction, etc. that will further provide for greater articulation and alignment between and among
similarly-modeled, non-traditional schools. ASMS realizes that both its teaching and learning could improve by interacting, sharing, planning, and collaborating with others working in similar schools.
• Increase internal and external professional development.• Conduct peer-to-peer classroom evaluations. • Increase AP class offerings.• Add a Capstone course, which would combine the best of the individual directed research projects with a year-long program that would span from January of junior year to December of senior year.• Support academic performance of incoming students by increasing faculty mentoring and piloting a First Year Experience class that would emphasize writing, researching, critical thinking, and self-reflection.
BudgetIn the last two fiscal years, the most significant challenge that ASMS has faced is directly related to budget cuts due to State Education Fund proration. These budget cuts have led to the elimination and/or consolidation of staff and faculty positions, a percentage cut in staff and faculty base salaries, and a reduction in overall expenses. Budget cuts have led ASMS to review spending and spending cuts on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, the ASMS Development Office diligently seeks grant funding through the ASMS Foundation to offset expenses not covered by ETF. This past fiscal year, the foundation contributed $959,374 to ASMS. Here are a few recommended actions intended to help stabilize our budget:• Find new avenues for funding, including contacting local corporations and working more closely with parents, board members, and alumni in fundraising efforts.• Seek a commitment from the new Governor and legislature through greater lobbyist activities in Montgomery.• Increase efforts to showcase the school’s record of achievement to potential donors and lawmakers.
InfrastructureIn all committee reports, a well-functioning facility was a key priority. Although the Infrastructure committee identified school strengths – the construction of the Bedsole Building, dedicated classrooms for most teachers, and advanced labs – it recognized
ANGLES | SPRING 2011 | 4

Your Involvement Is Critical
numerous issues related to maintaining aging buildings, many of which were constructed in the 1940s:• Address heating and cooling issues. The 20-year-old cooling tower that services three main buildings is approaching the end of its life cycle and will need to be replaced soon. Approximately 25 individual Boys’ and Girls’ Dorm room A/C units need replacing as well.• Install a climate-control system in Administration building stairwells to regulate moisture. • Renovate the West Campus Band and Art Studio to meet building codes. (Renovations to the exterior will begin this summer and will conclude before school begins in the fall.)• Install additional wireless access points around campus. • Replace inoperative kitchen equipment.• Replace inoperative windows in Science and Administration buildings.• Investigate the viability of converting the gym area to a kitchen/dining hall and building a new athletic facility on West Campus.• Renovate Girls’ dorm bathrooms. • Install community kitchens in Girls’ dorm.• Repair tennis courts. Student LifeOne of the greatest benefits ASMS offers is the opportunity to live among students who share a passion for learning. Here are a few actions intended to help improve campus life:• Assess food quality and work with student leaders to give students a voice in meal planning. • Institute a more structured approach to new-student orientation that includes a faculty and staff mentoring component.• Extend library and weight room hours.• Increase the amount of on-campus and off-campus activities available to students.
Student, Parent, Alumni, and Staff InteractionThe Alumni/Parents committee identified strengths, including a strong and well-organized Parent Association and an increase in alumni participation and giving, among others. Here are a few actions to build upon these strengths:• Consistently invite alumni to campus to guest lecture and interact with students.• Involve parents in helping to locate summer internship opportunities for students.• Continue to involve alumni and parents in the recruiting process. • Increase the use of Blackbaud, our online grade reporting system, by faculty members in order to better update parents concerning student grades.
Sustainment of the MissionWhen the first students arrived in 1991, much of the campus was under construction – physically and metaphorically. Since that time, ASMS has come a long way. In order for progress to continue, several actions were proposed regarding sustaining the school’s mission:• Adopt a more formal system of information gathering and data analysis in order to produce longitudinal studies. This will help the president, board of directors, staff, and faculty track change over time – whether it is physical growth of the campus, the frequency of library use, changes in curriculum, student demographics, alumni career paths, professional development activities, or data relating to student performance.• When the budget permits, return to advertising the school on billboards, in newspapers, and on TV.
In conclusion, the priorities ahead for 2011-2015 are as weighty as the strong foundation of excellence at the Alabama School of Math and Science. Your involvement is critical to the continued success at ASMS in our third decade!

MEET A FEW OF THIS YEAR’S GRADUATESIn November, Matthew Robson was recognized in USA Today as a semifinalist in the Siemens Competition in Math, Science, and Technology for research he conducted during two summers spent at the Undergraduate Medical Research Program at the University of South Alabama. He studied host-pathogen interaction and presented his findings at the American Thoracic Society Convention in New Orleans last year. Robson, who lives in Baldwin County, is an ASMS Ambassador and played on the basketball team.
Audrey Ogendi was born in Kisi, Kenya and moved to Jacksonville, AL when she was 13. She aspires to become a medical doctor. “The most important thing in life is to help others,” she says. “If I can assist people while putting a smile on their faces, then I think I can help create a better tomorrow.” She plans to study biochemistry and women’s studies. Audrey lives in Calhoun County and is the first African American female to serve as President of the Student Government Association.
Desmond Garner has made the most of every opportunity presented to him to learn a new language while attending ASMS: He’s studied Mandarin Chinese in Taiwan during a summer exchange program, won a language scholar-ship to study Spanish for 10 days in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, and has taken German classes. “I love learn-ing languages,” he says. “I would have never been able to study languages at my former high school.” Garner, who hails from Greene County, plans to continue studying languages in college.
Last summer Shawn Sharma took eight credit hours of Organic Chemistry at Harvard University. A few summers ago, he visited in India, where he saw how a lack of affordable health care can impact the underprivileged. His goal is to become a medical doctor, specializing in research. “I want to help people live better lives,” he says. He is involved in a variety of campus activities – President of the Chess Club, Captain of the Chess Team, President and founder of the ASMS Scholars Bowl Team, an Ambassador, and a member of the Math Team. Shawn is from Baldwin County.
At a school known for math and science, Addi Beckman has found and fueled a passion for English. She has a voracious appetite for books, regularly spends hours in the library, and is the editor of the student newspaper, “The Firewire.” “I enjoy discussions about human nature and how we relate and interact with each other,” she says. “Literature helps me better understand myself and the rest of humanity.” She is from Morgan County and plans to study English and French in college and pursue a Ph.D. in 19th Century British Literature.
Last summer Jacinta Cai spent a month helping to redesign and launch the ASMS website. “Over the course of the job, I learned how to accept criticism and the benefits of working on a collaborative project,” she says. “Despite the stressful hours, I felt honored to help create a website that will promote ASMS.” Cai, who lives in Colbert County, is interested in biology and chemistry and plans to study neurology in college. She also serves as SGA secretary.

“TRULY AWESOME,” THAT’S HOW SENIOR KAIJA LAZDA DESCRIBED HER STUDENT EXCHANGE EXPERIENCE IN GERMANY LAST FALL. Each year a handful of ASMS students study abroad. This year, Lazda visited Berlin and Münster, Germany, while Juniors Alexandra Lappe, John LeMaster, and Felipe Shinsato traveled to Seville, Spain. The students attended school each day, immersing themselves in German and Spanish culture and mastering language skills. “The experience really changed the way I see the world, boosting my self-confidence and helping me to overcome my shyness,” Lazda says.
The students who visited Spain also speak about how the experience changed their lives:
“I am now fluent in Spanish, and it helped me to see how other types of people live and made me more open to other cultures,” says LeMaster, who lived with a family in the well-known Andalusia community of Seville.
Lappe attended a bullfight in Madrid and enjoyed traveling around Seville, exploring museums, parks, and shopping markets. “We spent a lot of time outdoors on the weekends, which gave me a chance to really experience the Spanish culture. It’s an experience I will never forget,” she says.
Shinsato is already looking forward to traveling back to Spain. “The most memorable part will probably have to be the people,” he says. “Spanish people are wonderful, and that’s why I will return one day.”

10 UNIQUE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES @ ASMS
Reporting by students Kaija Lazda, Heather Crosby, and Will Wagner
1. First Robotics Team
ANGLES | SPRING 2011 | 9
“Why the Spanish Inquisition?” asks Physics instructor and FIRST Robotics Team sponsor Dr. Don Wheeler with a wry smile. “Because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”
Named after a series of sketches from Monty Python’s Flying Circus, the Spanish Inquisition is what the ASMS FIRST Robotics Team has taken to calling themselves. Fittingly, the team has snuck up on other teams this year, placing third in their first competition in December and 15 out of 38 teams in a regional event in March. Typically, First Robotics teams spend at least a few years learning how to be competitive, but the ASMS team has proven that an upstart team can contend.
“I have learned so much working on the robots,” says senior Chip Stallings. “The team did a remarkable job of troubleshooting and making the necessary changes to compete.”
The team has gained financial support
through grants from JC Penney and Northrop Grumman. “We are happy with the way things went this year and now the challenge will be to find additional sponsors to keep the program sustainable and keep it as a part of our engineering courses, says Wheeler.
To remotely operate the robots, the team uses an iPod Touch and software created in LabVIEW, a visual programing language which allows non-programmers to quickly build programs by dragging and dropping virtual representations of lab equipment with which they are already familiar.
2. Community Garden Club
ANGLES | SPRING 2011 | 10
Just outside of the boys’ dorm, lettuce, parsley, radishes, collard greens, and an array of herbs are growing in nine raised plots. Soon, many of these crops will be ready to harvest and eat by the students who planted them.
“I helped plant carrots and I have enjoyed watching them grow,” says senior Brie Lowery. “We picked and ate some already and they were delicious.”
The ASMS Community Garden Club was the brainchild of biology instructor Barry McPhail, who says that, “The garden promotes a caring attitude towards the earth and introduces the students to skills and attitudes that will serve them well as they go through life.”
Funding for the garden, which is organic, was made possible through a $500 grant from Annie’s Homegrown. McPhail says that the club hopes to one day grow enough to serve to the student body in the cafeteria during a meal.
3. Visual MathematicsThis hands-on, half-credit course was designed to allow students to visually explore mathematical topics such as symmetry, modeling, and fractals. It was created by math instructor Sarah Brewer, and it was divided into eight sections: Deconstructing Origami Animals; Symmetry of Platonic Solids with Zometools; Modular Origami Polyhedra; Tiling, Tessellations, and Planar Symmetry Groups; Origami Tessellations; Fractals & Fibonacci; Compass & Straightedge; and 2D and 3D Graphing. Each of these projects had a problem-solving aspect and an artistic creation aspect. The goal was to have students think about certain math problems visually rather than algebraically, and to see the relationships between certain algebraic and geometric principles they were already familiar with and the beautiful
visualizations resulting from those principles. Students were also required to write a research paper on an artist/mathematician, area of mathematics that is approached visually, or an art form that is mathematical in nature. “The overlap of mathematics and the arts is an area of particular interest to me, and is gaining quite a bit of popularity in recent years, with annual conferences like Bridges dedicated to the union of the two disciplines,” says Brewer. “It’s nice to see mathematics taken out of its typical context and put into a new light where it is perceived as beautiful, accessible, and yes, even useful.”
Through connections made by physics instructors Dr. Garvin Wattuhewa and Dr. Don Wheeler, Auburn University has donated a used Rigaku D-max/B Diffractometer to ASMS, which, if purchased new would run around $500,000. The machine generates powerful x-rays that are bent by small crystalline structures to produce specific patterns. As a result, samples can be characterized based on what is happening in their crystalline or molecular structure. Practical uses would be to study the effects of stress on metals, find the source of oil pollution, find the source of metals in an archeological site, characterize the structure of bird shells, proteins, polymers, etc. It will be used in quantum physics classes, as well as in AP and honors physics classes, mechanical engineering classes and others.

4. Gulf Coast Beach Cleanup Is the cleanup on the Gulf Coast really helping the environment? This is exactly what Physics instructor Dr. Don Wheeler and a group of enthusiastic students have set out to discover. Wheeler has taken a personal interest in this matter and developed a Directed Research course for the spring 2011 term. He has acquired ultra violet lights, which they will use to uncover whether the cleaning efforts are eliminating the oil or just covering it up. He calls it “a good way to uncover what’s really going on.”
The group of students will periodically take trips to different parts of the gulf coast and take core samples of the sand to see how deep the oil has penetrated. This will give them a good idea of where the cleanup has been the most effective. “We can use this to gain a lot of useful information about how polluted the gulf coast is, especially in the Mobile area,” says ASMS senior Jared Tompkins, who is enrolled in the class. “I can’t wait; this will be the first research project I have done that will have an actual impact on the environment.”
6. ChineseSix ASMS students were enrolled in a Chinese language course during winter term. The class used the teleconference equipment in the Media Room to talk and interact with their teacher, Steven Frost, who has lived in China and now teaches at the Loveless Academic Magnet High School Program in Montgomery, AL. “I found the class very challenging, but always engaging,” says junior Zac Thomas. Although any student could take the class, it began as a preparation for students who will visit Taiwan as part of an exchange program. Additionally, four students from Taiwan are visiting ASMS Spring Term.
7. String TheoryDuring winter term, math instructor Sarah Brewer and a couple of ace math students set out on a bold journey to use mathematical theories to explain how the universe works. Brewer delved into String Theory by offering a Directed Research course called the Theory of Everything. “String Theory is something I am interested in, to know how everything is related. I like understanding how the world works, and I think that mathematics is a very logical approach to that,” she says.
“I get to use the math that I am learning, and I realized that geometry is a lot more than looking at shapes. It’s really like the study of space,” says Zack VanScoy, a junior who asked Brewer to teach the class. This is easier said than done. To understand the theories, a solid background in math is needed, which for the students, takes a while to build up. Erin Jung is the other student taking the Theory of Everything. She explained, “It deals with a much larger scale of mathematics than any other math classes here. The concepts we learn in this class are astonishing and brain crashing.” Brewer said that this course would be offered again.
ANGLES | SPRING 2011 | 11
9. Adventures In Math and Science Summer ProgramThe Adventures In Math and Science summer program provides middle school students an opportunity to take unique classes from some of the best high school teachers in the state. With classes like Rocketry, Robotics, Mythology, Gene Splicing, Labs of Doom, CSI: Mobile, Marine Biology, Rock and Roll History, Stop-Motion Animation, Mathematical Origami, ACT Prep, and Light Metals & Vitreous Enameling, AIMS campers can test drive ASMS while they learn and have fun.
Who can enroll? Students entering the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th grades as well as incoming ASMS students. In 2011, AIMS will run for three sessions. Students can sign up for one or all three weeks. Session 1 (June 6-10) is an overnight camp. Session 2 (June 13-17) is an overnight or day camp. And, Session 3 (June 20-24) is a day camp. Tuition for overnight camp is $375 per week. Day Campers pay $260 per week. The deadline to apply is May 16.
8. Vernier LabQuestsThe Chemistry department, through a grant from Evonik Industries, has purchased a set of Vernier LabQuests hand-held devices, which utilize color, touch-screen interfaces that allow for fast and accurate data collection during experiments. They can function as stand-alone units or they can interface with a computer. “The devices are capable of measuring experimental units such as temperature, pressure, voltage, conductivity, pH and radiation,” says chem instructor Dr. Elisa Rambo. “Interchangeable probes allow for expansion of our laboratory curriculum. Also, accessories such as the new mini gas chromatographs will offer opportunities to learn analytical techniques only available in college and graduate schools.”
10. SPECIAL PROJECTSDuring Special Projects Week, students leave normal classes to study a subject in depth. During this time, students explore topics through research and interactive experiences. Some stay on campus and work in labs while others travel off campus. In 2011, students traveled to France, Florida, Louisiana, and northern Alabama. Examples of on-campus projects for 2011: Forensics Science and the Law, Habitat for Humanity, Love through Shakespearian Eyes, The Hungry Kitchen Novice, Wall Street, Methods of Science Research, Advanced Creative and Expository Writing, and Film Production: Zombie Movie.
“I like the fact that we get to focus on one subject for a whole week,” says senior Brody Mathews, who built a Trebuchet this year with instructors Larry Hyland and Dr. Pam Quintana.

11 Alumni answer the call to teachVisit www.asms.net for more alumni news
Jamey Benton, Class of 2003Benton graduated from the University of Montevallo with a degree in Elementary Education and teaches at Brookville Elementary School in Graysville, AL. “I love the ability to invest in the developing character and identity of my students,” she says. “Although I am teaching the basics of general science, I believe ASMS definitely prepared me with content knowledge that laid the foundation so that I can now take a complex idea and break it down in a way that is easier for a 10-year-old to understand. ASMS also taught me a lot about setting goals, hard work, and dedication to success, along with the value of using my talents to invest in and benefit our state. I feel like I am doing just that by teaching in an Alabama public school setting.”
Robert Moore, Class of 1998Moore is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, TX. He graduated from Huntingdon College and later earned a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Auburn University. “While I was at ASMS, what struck me most was the unapologetic challenge presented to me,” he says. “The bar was high, and if I did not achieve it then I should go home – no excuses. It is thrilling to now be able to do the same thing in the midst of a culture that wants to excuse everyone with sub-par performance.”
Sarah Gelsinger Brewer, Class of 2000Brewer teaches Mathematics at ASMS. She earned her MS in Mathematics from the University of South Alabama after completing undergraduate degrees in both Math and Art. “I try to emphasize that by studying Math students are training their minds to think critically, not just learning Algebra, Trigonometry, or Calculus,” she says. “The kids ask me about my experiences at ASMS, and I think it helps us relate to each other a little more. I hope that I can be as positive an influence on current ASMS students as my teachers were on me, because it really is the teachers that make this place so special.”

Joe Brown, Class of 1997Brown earned a Master’s in International Development at Cambridge University and then a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences and Engineering from the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He teaches at the London School
of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, which is Britain’s national school of public health and a leading research institution for the study of global health. “Without a doubt, the faculty, staff, and my fellow students at ASMS had everything to do with who I am and what I am doing with my life, and that includes my teaching,” he says.
Rebekah Schiller, Class of 2001Schiller earned a BS in Physics from Oglethorpe
University and a Master’s in Physics and a Master’s in Secondary Science Education from Stony Brook University. She teaches physics at The Bronx High School of Science, a school that has graduated seven Nobel laureates in physics. “I try to give my students as much practice with creative problem solving in my classes as possible, and firmly believe this practice will
improve their lives,” she says. “I love to show students why I love physics.”
Rebecca Rozelle-Stone, Class of 1996Rozelle-Stone graduated from Birmingham-Southern College, earning a BA in Philosophy. She then earned a Master’s and Ph.D. in Philosophy at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of North Dakota, teaching ethical theory, feminism, aesthetics,
and Continental Philosophy. “ASMS was crucial in orienting me toward philosophy and teaching,” she says. “For the first time in my life, I began to receive a truly cosmopolitan education... I had so many exemplars of passionate, inspired teaching... individuals who did not offer education as a ‘product’ but as a way of life that they themselves sincerely embodied.”

Krystal Hardy, Class of 2003
Hardy graduated from the University of Notre Dame and is completing a Master’s Degree in Public Administration from Auburn University-Montgomery. Through the Teach For America program she taught elementary school for two years in south Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. As Program Director for the newly launched Alabama partnership of Teach For America, she trains, develops, and supports cohorts of new teachers. “I love helping students actualize their full potential,” she says. “ASMS helped me understand and internalize the bar of rigor and high expectations that all students should be held to. ASMS also helped me fully understand and appreciate the significance of diversity in terms of individual backgrounds, learning and teaching styles, and means of communicating and working together. I am better able to differentiate for students, and the teachers I now manage, because of these principles.”
Joshua Silva-Noah, Class of 1998Silva-Noah works as a Middle School Humanities Guide at the Post Oak Montessori School in Bellaire, TX. He also serves as the Volunteer Director of Youth Ministries at Heritage Presbyterian Church. He earned a Master of Fine Arts from Texas Tech University and is working on a Master of Divinity at Fuller Theological Seminary and a Certificate of Youth Ministry and Theology from Princeton Theological Seminary. “I enjoy being able to help adolescents realize their potential and overcome adversity,” he says. “ASMS gave me a strong academic foundation, which provided me with the ability to teach a variety of subjects. I have taught every age from preschool to college undergrads and every subject from physics to American History to the Bible.”
Stewart Thorson, Class of 1994Thorson graduated from the University of Alabama and later earned a Master’s in Educational Administration from the University of South Alabama and an Ed.S. in Educational Leadership from the University of Alabama. He is the principal of New Century Technology High
School in Huntsville, AL. “It is very ironic to be the principal of NCTHS,” he says. “It is a school with a strong focus in STEM education and is also positioned in Huntsville as an alternative for those students seeking a more rigorous high school experience. I believe attending ASMS helped me land my job here.”
Douglas Sean Smith, Class of 1997Smith attended Davidson College and studied German and English Literature. He has studied German at the Julius Maximilias Bayerische Universitaet Wuerzburg and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at the Università per Stranieri di Siena in Italy. He is currently working on a Master’s Degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at St. George International University in London. He also teaches English in Italy. “I enjoy the satisfaction of watching my students progress and improve through my teaching,” he says. “It was at ASMS where I learned the critical skills necessary to learn effectively and how to approach learning.”
Will Hester, Class of 2000Hester is the director of choral music at KIPP Houston High School in Houston, TX. He graduated from the University of Alabama and later earned an M.Mus. from the University of Houston. “To help kids see themselves as musicians, and to witness their success and growth over time in music and in other areas of their lives – these are incredible privileges,” he says. “I wouldn’t have become a teacher without the examples of outstanding teaching at ASMS. The advanced curriculum, motivated classmates, and intelligent teachers changed my own vision of what school could be. A classroom didn’t have to be a dull place where a kid with half a brain was made to feel like a nerd; a classroom could be a place of challenge, conversation, and camaraderie. If I have half as much effect on my students as my ASMS experience had on me, I will have done my job.”

Chris Harden
CHRIS HARDEN (CLASS OF 1993) HAS HELPED ENGINEER TWO CUTTING-EDGE AND INNOVATIVE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACES THAT ARE REVOLUTIONIZING HOW WE DRIVE AND BUY SODA.
As an Engineering Manager for BSQUARE, an engineering firm focused on helping clients build UIs, Harden has helped launch Ford’s MyFord Touch system and Coca-Cola’s Freestyle drink dispenser.
MyFord Touch is the cornerstone of Ford’s new push in cabin technology and is a user-friendly system that allows drivers to control a wide array of functions by touch and voice command, including controls for navigation, phone, and climate functions.
The Coca-Cola Freestyle is a touch-screen soda fountain dispenser that can deliver an unprecedented variety of beverages to suit anyone’s taste. The machine can feature more than 100 different carbonated and non-carbonated Coca-Cola drink products from one freestanding unit, including varieties of waters, juices, teas, and sparkling beverages that have never been sold in the United States. Thirsty for an Orange Coke or Raspberry Coke?
“Developing embedded GUIs provides me with an opportunity to do both engineering work and graphic design work,” he says. “I have strong interests in both, and being able to explain to my family and friends the work I do is more fun when the device has a cool UI to show off. The more challenging aspect of embedded UIs, is that you have limited resources on those devices. You have much less RAM, processor bandwidth, and graphics processing power than you do on a regular PC. The result is that the team has to squeeze every ounce of power out of a mobile phone, automotive device, etc. to get it to be as eye-popping as what you can do on a desktop computer. ”
Harden has a unique mix of Electrical Engineering, Industrial Design, Graphic Design, and Entrepreneurship experience, and besides working with Coke and Ford, he has consulted for Disney Imagineering, Palm, and Motorola. Harden earned an MBA from the University of South Florida and a BS in Electrical Engineering from Auburn University.

TWO ALUMNI DISCUSS WHY
THEY GIVE
Josh Herron and Mark Wall credit ASMS with
helping them attain success in life and both want
to encourage fellow alumni to give back.
ASMS grads Josh Herron (Class of 1999) and Mark Wall (Class of 1994) are encouraging fellow alumni to give back to a school that has positively impacted so many people. Herron works for Hilton Hotels and lives in Daphne, AL. Wall is a radiologist and works for the US Air Force at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, MS. He lives in Ocean Springs, MS, is married to Allison Wall, and has two children.
“I enjoy giving back to ASMS because I know exactly who is benefiting and how much a difference even a small donation can make during tight financial times,” says Wall. “I was the beneficiary of the generosity of others who donated to the school, and I feel obligated to give back to help provide current students the same opportunities that were given to me. I look forward to continuing to give and hearing the many stories of success by ASMS graduates.”
Herron also feels strongly about donating to ASMS
and challenges others to do the same: “When I graduated from ASMS and matriculated to Auburn University, I finally understood how big of an impact that ASMS really had on my life,” he says. “I knew then that at some point in my life I wanted to give back to the school that gave me so much.”
Herron continues: “I don’t expect every alumni to write a $10,000 check.... However, if each alumnus can spare $5, $10, or $20 a month, then the dollars add up. This year will mark the 20th graduating class at ASMS. This means that, in June, almost 2,000 students will have graduated from the school. If only half of these gave $10 a month, alumni would account for $120,000 per year. Give some thought to what ASMS did for you, and think about helping a worthwhile cause.”
An easy way to give: Go into your online bill payment banking account and set ASMS up to receive a check each month. Contact the Development Office at 251.441.2120.

Alum in Antarctica2009 graduate Evan Colmenares, who attends the University of Alabama at Birmingham, recently spent two weeks researching life at the bottom of the world.
By Evan Colmenares
In December, I took a trip of a lifetime to Antarctica. This two week trip was sponsored by the University of Alabama in Birmingham Study Away and Dr. Jim McClintock. Dr. McClintock is one of the nation’s leading Antarctic researchers and he loves to share his experiences with others, especially students who want to learn. UAB is one of the few universities in the United States that has an Antarctic study away opportunity.
The Impacts of Climate ChangeDuring the trip, I learned about different species of animals that live in Antarctica. This included various penguins, whales, birds, and seals. However, the main focus of the trip was on climate change and how it is impacting Antarctica and the species that live there. Scientists believe that the hole in the ozone layer has caused the ice caps to melt which, in turn, has disastrous effects, including changing the reproductive areas for krill. This causes penguins and other Antarctic species that feed on krill to travel farther just to feed themselves and their families.
Now that I am back at UAB, I am registered for Advanced Directed Readings in Biology. In order to complete this class, I must write a species notebook of what species I observed, including scientific name, diet, mating habits, and other key aspects of their life. In addition, I am in the process of writing a paper on how the tourism industry has shaped and affected the continent.
Best Part of the Trip?It’s hard to pick one thing that I enjoyed most about the trip. However, one of my favorite parts was probably seeing the huge icebergs and ice shelves float by, especially if there was a seal or penguin resting on them. I think that the trip has made me a lot more environmentally conscious, since I have seen one of the locations most affected by climate change. I want to go back at some point, and I also want to visit all seven continents throughout my life. I am doing it out of order, however, most people go to Antarctica as their seventh continent, not their third!

Dr. Patrick and Mrs. Rose Marie Hanks
Alumni Spotlight
Patrick Hanks (Class of 2001) earned a bachelors degree from Auburn University and a Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin in Chemical Engineering. Rose Marie (Class of 2002) attended Auburn University and studied Chemical Engineering and Spanish. While at Auburn both Patrick and Rose Marie won Goldwater Scholarships, which annually recognize 300 outstanding undergraduates nationwide performing research in math, science, and engineering fields. Patrick works for ExxonMobil, researching technologies to produce clean fuels safely, efficiently, and economically. Rose Marie is a consultant with Flatrock Engineering & Environmental, an engineering consulting firm out of San Antonio. Her work spans engineering, environmental analysis, safety and regulatory permitting in the midstream natural gas industry. The couple married in 2006. Find additional Alumni Spotlights at www.asms.net.
How did ASMS help to prepare you for engineering?Patrick: ASMS provided a great jumpstart into a career in engineering. While at ASMS I got to dabble in computer science, physics, and chemistry and came to realize that chemical engineering was a great fit for me. The advanced math classes at ASMS taught me most of the skills I needed and allowed me to focus on concepts at the undergraduate level.Rose Marie: The rigorous courses at ASMS enabled me to approach the chemical engineering curriculum with ease. The diversity in courses, individuals and interests I encountered prepared me well for collegiate activities and a technical career.
Why do you feel ASMS is vital to the state of Alabama?Patrick: ASMS provides more than just an opportunity to accelerate learning of math and science fields. ASMS provides a unique opportunity to teach high performing students the essential skills to think critically. These skills allow alumni to succeed and thrive in their chosen vocations, from chemical engineering, medicine, and law, and even social work.Rose Marie: Couldn’t say it any better!
Any teachers you’d like to acknowledge?Patrick: Chemistry teacher Dr. John Petty and Physics teacher Dr. Garvin Wattuhewa were great teachers for me, and their courses resulted in my selection of chemical engineering for a major and career.Rose Marie: [Former language teacher] Lydia Gilkey’s difficult classes pushed me to develop fluency in Spanish and have had long-lasting effects; Wattuhewa encouraged me to pursue engineering and has remained a mentor over the last decade. Anything else to add to the conversation? It’s a shame that ASMS is a line item in the state budget and that proration affects it so drastically. Education is a high priority in many states and is a driver for economic improvement and job growth. We hope that long-term funding can be established for the school to propel Alabama in the coming years and that other alumni will invest in its future. War Eagle!
Alumni Marriages How many ASMS alumni couples have tied the knot? ASMS would like to honor these unique unions in next year’s Angles Magazine. If you and your spouse fit this description, please briefly answer the following questions and send your responses and a current photo to [email protected].

In the face of statewide budget proration to all public schools, the Development Office has worked hard to raise close to $1 million during the 2009-2010 fiscal year.
We raised $959,374.30 from 714 gifts – up from $693,002 from 441 gifts in the previous fiscal year and an increase of 27.2 percent. With an office of only two people to handle fundraising efforts, alumni relations, and parent events, we are proud of the effort our constituents put forth to make 2009-2010 a successful year.
The Honor Roll of Donors for 2009 - 2010 focuses on the many gifts from which we as a school benefited. The increase in donors is an indication of the work that goes on around us every day. We are a school built on the hard work of sacrificing parents and students, dedicated faculty and staff, and interested alumni who cherish what they received here. The work here is challenging, constant and all around us. But, the result of all our work is seen in the faces of our graduates, who are of the highest
quality, and who are well prepared for the challenges facing them when they leave.
Because of the joint effort of everyone listed below, faculty received new computers and classroom supplies, students received new air conditioners, and leaks were repaired in every building. Students have new computers in the computer lab and language lab as well as new SmartBoards in math, biology and physics.
We are happy to support the ASMS family and would like to thank all those donors listed below who through their joint effort, whether by one enormous gift or the hundreds who gave a little, made this year a successful year.
Thank you for supporting ASMS,
