This week students tested their genetics by tasting pieces of paper treated with PTC, thiourea, and sodium benzoate. The taste of the chemical is determined by your genetics. Students reported tasting nothing, salt water, chocolate, hand sanitizer, dish soap, and in some cases very bad tastes. With this information students can calculate what percentage of students have which genotypes, or version of the gene involved. Today this equation is used to track genetic disorders and detect errors in genetics studies.

🚨🌟 STATE OFFICER. STATEWIDE IMPACT. HISTORY MADE. 🌟🚨

New Haven High School is proud to celebrate an extraordinary achievement by Brayden Celeste, who has been elected as a Michigan DECA State Officer, representing over 10,000 members across the state of Michigan. 👏🔥

After advancing through a highly competitive and rigorous selection process—including a formal interview in Lansing, a full campaign, and election by voting delegates from across the state—Brayden earned his place among Michigan’s top student leaders.

🎤 “Mrs. M believed in me before anyone else did. This means everything, and I’m proud to represent New Haven on the biggest stage.”

As a State Officer, Brayden will:
✨ Lead statewide initiatives
✨ Represent Michigan at conferences across the country
✨ Mentor thousands of student leaders
✨ Serve as the voice of Michigan DECA

💥 This achievement is a tremendous honor not only for Brayden, but for New Haven High School and our entire community. His leadership will showcase the strength, determination, and talent of New Haven students on a state and national stage.

In just our second year as a DECA chapter, this moment proves one thing:
🚀 New Haven doesn’t wait for opportunities—we create them.

👏 Join us in celebrating Brayden’s incredible accomplishment!

Our own Brayden Celeste has been selected as a Michigan DECA State Officer, an incredible honor that puts him in a leadership role representing New Haven, our district, and Macomb County at conferences and events across the country this year.

We’re extremely proud of Brayden and excited to see him represent our community on a larger stage. If you’re able, consider grabbing dinner that night and helping support one of our Rockets and share it on social media with friends and family in the area.
