Mount Pleasant High School junior Sherman Butler-Losey has been accepted into NASA’s High School Aerospace Scholars (HAS) program.

HAS is an authentic learning experience for Texas high school juniors to engage with NASA’s mission to become the next generation of explorers. Students are able to learn about different STEM related fields of study they might want to pursue in college. Following a series of online lessons, the highest achieving students will be invited to an all-expenses-paid, week-long visit to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston during the summer. Selected participants will plan a mission to Mars while being mentored and receiving guidance from NASA scientists and engineers.

The HAS program runs until the end of February. Butler-Losey will complete four modules, each containing readings, multimedia content, quizzes, discussion posts, and activities. He is the son of John and Janet Losey.
