The GT program is in place to provide curriculum differentiation and enrichment for students identified as gifted. We provide services for these students within the four core subject areas and by offering field trips and activities during the year. If you attended school in the district last year and were identified as GT, you will continue to be in the program here at Steele H.S. If a student is new to the district but has participated in a GT program at another school, he/she needs to provide the test scores to the registrar and see Mrs. Shires as soon as possible at the beginning of the year. Please make sure to let your teacher in your area of giftedness know what your strengths are; that teacher can differentiate lessons for you. Join the GT meetings to be a voice in what we do during the year.
Art Club is an organization that is open to all students even if they are not currently in an Art class. We meet twice a month after school to plan and to work on projects such as murals and sculptures. Our goal is not only to have fun creating art but also to raise the community awareness of Art. Throughout the year the club members participate in various art contests and competitions as well as community service projects. We welcome everyone to come and be a part of this very creative group.
The Colorguard is a competitive performing art. Performers combine their equipment (flags, rifles, sabres) with interpretive body movements (dancing/marching/acting). During the fall, Colorguard members perform with the band at all football games, UIL competitions, and contests as selected by the directors. In the Spring, Colorguard members perform in an indoor season called Winterguard. Winterguard allows the team to develop an indoor show and perform at multiple competitions throughout San Antonio that lead to a Color Guard Championship.
The mission of Fashion Club is to encourage and facilitate activities that relate to the fashion industry. Students will learn about fashion career opportunities, participate in community service events, create with fabric and textiles, design and draw, watch fashion shows or fashion-oriented movies, discuss the latest trends, hear a guest speaker from the fashion industry, and fundraise for club activities. Possible club activities may also include organizing a school fashion show or a vintage clothing recycle fashion show. Fashion club is for any individual interested in the fashion industry, clothing, runway, fashion design, or sewing. Our goal is to promote fashion forward creativity among student members. Fashion Club is open to any Steele High School students.

Mathematics, Coach: Amanda Hartson The 40-minute test will consist of 60 objective-type questions designed to test knowledge and understanding in the areas of algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry, math analysis, analytic geometry, pre-calculus, and elementary calculus. Questions will be multiple choice.

Spelling and Vocabulary, Coach: The UIL Spelling and Vocabulary Contest promotes vocabulary development and precise and effective use of words. The three-part contest consists of multiple choice questions of proofreading and vocabulary and words that are written from dictation. Part I is a 15-minute period for written vocabulary. Parts II and III are words pronounced for the contestants.
Literary Criticism, Coach: April Phillips This 90-minute contest requires knowledge of literary history and of critical terms, and ability in literary criticism. Students are tested over material on the reading list and required to select the best answers involving judgment in literary criticism. Students must also analyze literary passages not on the reading list. A tie breaker is required in which the student must write a short essay dealing with a specified topic about a short literary passage.
Ready Writing, Coach: April Phillips Contestants write expository compositions. They are given a choice between two prompts, each an excerpt from literature, publications (past and present), or speeches. Expository writing explains, proves, or explores a topic in a balanced way, allowing the argument and the evidence given to be the deciding factor in the paper. Descriptive or narrative passages may be used to illustrate or reinforce an idea or point, but they must be clearly subservient or incidental to the purpose of exposition. The composition is judged on interest (60%), organization (30%), and correctness of style (10%).
Science, Coach: Eric Botello The purpose of the Science Contest is to challenge high school students to do a wide range of reading in the areas of science, to gain an understanding of the significance of experiments rather than recall obscure details, to be alert to new discoveries and information in the areas of science, to gain an understanding of the basic principles and knowledge of the history and philosophy of science, and to foster a sense of enthusiasm about science and how it affects our daily lives.
Social Studies, Coach: Roger White The purpose of the Social Studies Contest is to challenge high school students to read widely and deeply in the areas of social studies.

(2) expand and apply their understanding of the governmental systems. (3) expand and apply their understanding of historical trends, movements and eras, the impact and significance of time and place, cause and effect, and change over time.

Despite Moon Knight's protests that he does not need a sidekick, Midnight follows him into new adventures and is able to gain some training during adventures with the Punisher[49] and with the mercenaries Silver Sable, Sandman, and Paladin.[50] Over time, Wilde concludes that Moon Knight's ethics and methods are too much responsibility and that he prefers to pursue excitement. He grows to resent Moon Knight, believing the hero owes him more respect and is responsible for the death of his father (since their battle indirectly led to Mogart being exposed to toxic chemicals).
