To our friends at South Park High School

This is one of the first videos taken in 2005 at the very beginning of the high schools reform.

This is a video from one of our Engish teachers about a year later as we were implementing many of the initiatives (Project Based Learning, Rigor/Relavence/Relationship Model, Block schedule, technology infusion)

A link to a recent article in [|Edutopia magazine] that names us a "Cool School" and discusses our reform efforts.

Another piece from [|Edutopia].

A link to our [|bell schedule]. We stick to Red/White days that alternate. Every class runs all year and meets every other day. The Bulldog day which is our traditional 8 period day is now never used. The 2 hour snow delay still allows for 60 minute classes which makes those days more productive. The third block of each day is lunch and some classes go 42 minutes-lunch-42 minutes.

Here are two powerpoint presentations that were done at conferences over the last couple of years. They summarize in some detail the background and process of our reform.
