Humboldt Academy of Higher Learning Elementary School

On October 27, 2022, all 5th Graders at Humboldt will have the opportunity to attend JA Biztown. JA Biztown is a Junior Achievement program in which students become part of the Free Market Economy. Students will choose occupations, work at these jobs, earn a paycheck, use a debit card, and learn how to manage their money. This is a full day field trip that is always exciting and a favorite of students.

Humboldt Academy 5th Graders will once again take part in the Humboldt Poetry Slam. The Poetry Slam is a collaboration with Zulu St. Louis, Washington University and Humboldt Academy. During the fall and winter, Washington University students will become mentors to the 5th graders, helping them write poetry and find their voice to present their original poems in front of an audience. The Poetry Slam Competition will take place in early 2023. Last year's competition was exciting and full of amazing poetry! Dates are forthcoming for this year's competition. 

Students will again be given the opportunity to take part in the Math League Math Contest. This contest is a rigorous math competition for students who are serious about math. Students can qualify for the semi-finals up until February. If you are interested let your teacher know!

Humboldt will be holding its Annual Spelling Bee in early 2023. The school winner will qualify for the chance to go to the Post Dispatch Scripps Howard Spelling Bee Semi Final.
