Welcome! Please browse essays from Luck High School

The Role of Personal Responsibility in Improving the Quality of Life in Our Communities Today

This year for the first time we are translating entire essays unedited, into html (hyper text markup language) and posting them as they arrive. In past years we had to start from scratch and input students' work, sometimes a line or two from a single essay. The time constraint prevented us from allowing you to view entire essays.

But it's a new millennium and teachers and students have cooperated by sending their work via email. It is quick and easy to post the papers, especially when students work with a popular program like MS Word. We have to reformat but it still works when a paper is copied into the body of an email as plain text or sent as an attachment in plain text or as a document composed in popular software program. We are still working on papers composed with unfamiliar programs but will have them on line soon also.

As before, we will take excerpts from these papers to compose our annual book. This will be available online and will be published in book form and sent to participating schools and other interested parties before the end of the school year.

We would welcome your input. You might tell us your first three choices as prize winners in any school. This year your input will not affect our judging (tell us your criteria for judging) but if there is enough response one year we may let YOU be the judges with clear cut guidelines provided.

We tried in the past to have schools around the country exchange essays and judge each others work. The logistics, including geography and bad weather, prevented our attempts from being as successful as we had hoped they would be.
