Congratulations, Lt Col Murphy! 

This summer, Huntsville High School’s own Lt Col David Murphy, USAF (Ret.), attended Space Camp

for Educators at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center from June 16 to June 20 and was selected to receive the Right Stuff Award, one of the highest honors at the camp.  The award, which is named from the Tom Wolfe novel of the same name, is given to the trainee who exemplifies the courage, integrity, and excellence of the early space explorers and test pilots.

Lt Col Murphy is the senior aerospace science instructor at Huntsville High, which has one of the first ten Space Force JROTC units in history.

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is a destination for many children dreaming of reaching for the stars, but it is also a premiere destination for select educators who come from across the United States and different parts of the world to experience the Space Academy for Educators program.

During his time at Space Camp, he was able to participate in authentic astronaut training simulators and activities developed to promote learning in a classroom setting. Curriculum at the camp includes NASA-inspired lesson plans and is correlated to the National Science Education Standards, which will serve to provide Lt Col Murphy with many ways to incorporate the experience into lessons for his own students at Huntsville High.

2022-2023 HHS Golf Team Tryouts 

HHS Golf Tryouts for this school year are planned for Tuesday 8/23 and Wednesday 8/24 at 4:00 pm at the Robert Trent Jones -  Hampton Cove Highlands course.  Rain date will be 8/25 if necessary. 

We will play/walk 9 holes per day.  Fee of $25 is due before play each day. This includes one range token.

A physical is required for participation.  These can be found at AHSAA.com.  The physical must have player, parent, and doctor’s signature with date.  Also, you must be academically eligible.  If you are a rising 10th, 11th, or 12th grader, you must have passed all your core courses with a 70 average and be academically on track; otherwise, you cannot participate.

Contact Coach Allen Bradshaw at john.bradshaw@hsv-k12.org with any questions. Coach Bradshaw's classroom is Room 248 in the main building. 

Tryouts are for new prospects only. 

Please arrive with at least a basic knowledge of the rules of golf.  Also, you must have your own clubs.

We are a championship level program, so tryouts are normally very competitive.  This is a varsity sport and not a recreational club.  We compete on the highest level.
