Four LPHS students participate in JSC Space Settlement Design Competition
La Porte High School students, from left, Virginia Hinds, Brandon Zupan, David Ayers and
Samantha Wright were chosen to participate in the Johnson Space Center Space Settlement
Design competition last month. As a member of the winning team, Brandon was among 11
participants selected to advance to the national competition at the Kennedy Space Center this
summer. They are under the direction of LPHS drafting teacher Dan Ruley.
Four La Porte High School students recently had what you might call an “out of
this world” opportunity to make a difference in the future.
Brandon Zupan, Virginia Hinds, David Ayers and Samantha Wright participated
in the Johnson Space Center Space Settlement Design competition March 4 through
6, giving them the chance to serve in the role of aerospace industry professionals. The
students were organized into four competing teams, or companies, to design a system
for the transportation system and colonization of Mars.
The LPHS students served on three of the four teams, with Brandon a member of
the winning company. Out of approximately 200 students participated at the contest,
Brandon was then selected as one of 11 participants to advance to the national
competition to be held in July at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Their drafting teacher, Dan Ruley, describes a grueling weekend in which
the students worked almost non-stop from Friday through Sunday evening. After
dividing into their four teams, students were given a design brief, and the work on
their proposal began.
Each team was required to provide a written summary of their proposal, in 50
pages or less, with a 35-minute oral briefing to the competition judges that fully
addressed the project requirements and communicated their ideas, designs, budgets
and schedules. The contest was designed to help students learn and demonstrate
creativity, technical competence, management skills, space environment knowledge
and teamwork and presentation techniques.
“None of us got much sleep--it was pretty much ‘round the clock,” Ruley said.
“It was quite an intense competition, and our students did really well.”
Participants came from neighboring districts like Clear Creek and Friendswood
in addition to as far away as Iowa and South Dakota. The four competitors from
LPHS were chosen not only because they perform well in class, Ruley said, but
also because they consistently demonstrate the degree of maturity necessary for the
demanding competition in which students must work without constant supervision.
“They represented our school and community very well,” Ruley added. “They
were persistent, and they didn’t give up. It was a very hard weekend, and they
performed at a very high level.”
After their work was completed, participants had the unique opportunity to go to
the Apollo and Space Station trainers as well as Building 9.
Ruley comes to LPHS from industry, with an engineering technology degree
and a background in both construction and civil engineering. A first-year teacher
in La Porte ISD, Ruley hit the ground running when school started, applying for a
robotics grant on one of his first days of professional development with the district.
LPISD was awarded the Vex Robotics Grant from the Robotics Education Foundation
of Texas, which provided the school with $1,200 in new robotics equipment.
His students have had a very successful year, starting with the formation of a
new Technology Students Association. Members of the organization competed at
the regional competition at George Ranch High School in Rosenburg Feb. 19 and
20 and will be heading to the state Technology Students Association competition in
Waco April 14 through 16. Brandon, Samantha, David and Virginia will compete
in the team plastics contest, and Virginia will also participate in the safety poster
competition.
The four students were honored for their achievements at the La Porte ISD Board
of Trustees meeting on April 12.
Applications for dual language kindergarten program accepted through May 13
Parents who are interested in their children becoming bilingual may be interested
in the dual language program offered at Rizzuto Elementary School. Applications for
the dual language kindergarten program will be accepted through May 13.
Enrollment is limited. Interested parents may pick up an application at any
La Porte ISD elementary school or the LPISD Administration Building, 1002
San Jacinto. Information and applications are also available under “News and
Announcements” on the LPISD website, www. lpisd.org.
Applications should be completed and returned to the school to which the
student is zoned or to Rizzuto Elementary School, 3201 Farrington Blvd.
The program, known as two-way immersion, typically includes approximately
50 percent native English speakers and 50 percent native Spanish speakers.
Benefits of the program include the promotion of bilingualism; enhancement
of intellectual growth, empathy and social relations, interpersonal communication
and performance on standardized tests; and development of flexible thinking and
language/cognitive skills. The program also increases students’ listening skills, selfesteem and future marketability as well as fosters an appreciation for diverse cultures
and languages.
Parents who submit applications will be contacted for an appointment at which
their child’s vocabulary development will be evaluated. Students will be selected to
participate in the program based upon their vocabulary development and registration
date.
Those selected for the program must attend a meeting at 5:30 p.m. May 17 at
Rizzuto Elementary School.
For more information, contact Deanna Narcisse, principal of Rizzuto Elementary,
at 281-604-6500, or Jewel Whitfield, executive director of elementary education, at

La Porte High School is experiencing many exciting changes as a result of the
community’s support of the $260 million La Porte ISD bond issue.
Student athletes are already using the new tennis courts and softball field that
opened this spring, with many positive comments about these facilities coming from
players, parents and other fans as well as those from visiting teams. The new career
and technical education facility, off San Jacinto Street, and fine arts facility, between
the current junior and senior parking lots, are nearing completion and will be ready
for students with the start of the 2016-17 school year.
When the 2015-16 school year ends, the district will begin demolition of the
back portion of La Porte High School (including the C and E Buildings and the
current career and technical education area) to prepare for construction of the new
math and science classroom facility. To prepare for the demolition and construction,
three portable classroom buildings will be installed in the current senior parking lot,
which is south of the Sonja Angelo Theater. Each of the buildings includes 10 to 12
full-size classrooms as wll as faculty and student restrooms and water fountains.
The senior parking lot was closed the first week of April as work began in this
area.
“We reserved a row of parking spaces in the faculty lot and the first four rows of
spaces in the junior lot, and seniors were assigned to numbered spaces in these lots
through a random drawing. We will have this arrangement for next year’s seniors as
well,” said Todd Schoppe, LPHS principal. “Our students have been very gracious
about understanding the need for this change, and we appreciate their cooperation
and positive attitude.”
More information about construction at La Porte High School as well as other
projects throughout the district is available on the La Porte ISD website at www.
lpisd.org. Click on the gold “2014 Bond” tab beneath the top photo on the page to

portable buildings, each with 10-12 classrooms, will be set up for students and staff during the
construction of the new math and science facility.

Senior sports broadcasting students Brandon Rebecek, left, and Monique Valenzuela work on
a commercial during classtime.
It’s the night of the big game, and La Porte High School senior Brandon Rebecek
is ready for it. He chats with other members of his team, gathers up his equipment
and heads over to Bulldog Field. As the fans assemble and the announcers review
their notes, Brandon looks out over the diamond, adjusts his cap and steps up to – his
camera.
Bulldog sports fans from all over the world now have the opportunity to watch
athletic events through the camera lenses of students like Brandon, one of nine video
production students who make up the sports broadcasting team. The broadcasts are
on the La Porte ISD website (www.lpisd.org) under “Departments” and then “Sports
Broadcasting” or can be accessed directly at www.lpsportsnet.com..
Blending the school’s thriving video production classes with an opportunity to
showcase La Porte ISD programs online was the idea of Corey Marlar, the district’s
director of maintenance, transportation and operations, and Sam Zaborowski, La Porte
High School video production teacher who is also the 2016 District Secondary
Teacher of the Year.
“Last year at this time, we started the La Porte ISD sports broadcasting network,”
Marlar said. “When Sam and I initiated it, we told each other that we were going to
do this slowly. Nothing’s been slow since the day we first talked about it!”
The team broadcast a few events in the spring of 2015, using word of mouth
to enlist viewers to watch from their home computers. When the response was
overwhelmingly positive, they ventured into broadcasting home football and
volleyball games this past fall. Following the success of their live broadcasts of some
girls and boys basketball games, they moved into this year’s baseball/softball season
full-force.
During this 2016 David Anzaldua Memorial Baseball Tournament, the website
showed that several thousand viewers watched each of the games. Excitement over
the broadcasts from visiting teams as well helped to propel the program to the next
level. Marlar and Allan Teague, who serve as commentators for the baseball games,
frequently give a “shout out” to the father of head baseball coach Ricky Torres, who
often watches from his home in Puerto Rico.
Students arrive at each event several hours before start time to set up their
equipment, run wires and make sure that everything is ready for that day’s production.
Afterward, as fans head to their cars, they spend an hour or so packing up and
unloading their equipment back at the school.
While they are paid $50 to $75 for each game they work, the knowledge and
skills they are gaining also give them a head start on their college and professional
careers. Just this week, one university e-mailed Marlar with an offer for experienced
students to work 20-30 hours per week filming practices and games while they attend
college.
“The experience these students are getting is invaluable,” Zaborowski said.
“There’s not any place I know right now in which high school students are getting
their hands on this kind of equipment. Definitely, though, when they get to college,
every Division 1 school and most Division 2 schools are going to have programs like
this, and our students will be able to step right into them.”
For Brandon, who has been taking video production courses since his sophomore
year, the program combines his passions for videography and sports. He plans to
attend the University of Houston in the fall, participating in the film program, with
the eventual goal of working in broadcasting.
“I think this course and the program has been a really great opportunity, and I
encourage others to give it a shot,” he said.
Student interest in the program, which is open to second-year video production
students, is growing as quickly as the number of viewers. Zaborowski said 33 students
have already expressed interest in being in sports broadcasting next year, although
the class size will be limited to 20.
“I like the live action and meeting new people,” said senior Monique Valenzuela,
who is the only female on the sports broadcasting team this year. “But when it’s time
to do work, I do work; I’m very serious about it.”
“Being able to film a sport gives people who aren’t able to attend the same
experience as those who are in the stands,” added senior Candelario Garcia, who also
hopes to make videography his career. “Sometimes it doesn’t feel like work, either.
We get into that zone of knowing what we should do behind the camera.”
While students operate the cameras and take care of other tasks behind the scenes,
adults such as Marlar, Teague and associate principal Jason McConnell handle the
commentary during the live broadcasts. Maintenance Department personnel Forrest
Pennington, Vince Vicenik and Manny Reynaga handle the responsibilities of the
video and sound boards from the sports broadcasting van. Marlar also works with
advertisers who sponsor the broadcasts.
A selected schedule of both girls and boys sports activities are broadcast live
from the La Porte High school stadiums and gymnasium. University Interscholastic
League regulations require that home football games be aired one hour following the
end of the game. The schedule of broadcasts—which will include LPHS graduation
on May 27—is available on the website.
Future plans are to add more broadcasts and continue to archive old videos as La
Porte ISD celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. The archive currently includes
footage from contributed sports events from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
“It’s a really fun thing to take part in this,” Brandon said. “We are getting bigger
and better and more successful already, and we have already done some things we
thought we couldn’t. It will be really cool to say ‘I was a part of that.’ It is exciting!”
