On March 7, Tatum students attended JF Maddox Foundation’s next Distinguished Speaker Series event featuring former NASA Astronaut, José Hernandez. We were afforded the opportunity to attend a meet and greet reception for community members and students. Students and teachers interested in engineering/science were particularly excited to meet Mr. Hernandez a mission specialist on Space Shuttle mission STS-128, which launched on August 28, 2009, and returned to earth after a 13-day journey on September 11, 2009.
