All About Our Schools
Several hundred schools in 45 states have participated in our programs over the
past 13 years. This project will take a while to complete.
We plan to link to schools with web sites that have participated in past programs. If you are such a school, let us hear from you.
Hyndman High School, Hyndman Pennsylvania 1993, 1999
Conway Springs High School, Conway Springs, Kansas 1993
Los Angeles Baptist High School, North Hills, California 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993,
Hopkins High School, Hopkins, Michigan 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996,
Hanover High School, Hanover, New Hampshire, 1993, 1994,1999
This section will eventually have two links for each school. A link to the school's home page and and a link to a collection of writings submitted by its students over the years.
The following are links to high school web sites that we discovered in our search for schools that participated in our projects in the past. Some have the same name as "our" schools but are located in different towns/states. We enjoyed seeing what students are up to across the country and figured you might be interested to so here they are:
Rock Hill High School, Rock Hill, South Carolina
Benson High School, Omaha, Nebraska
North Marion High School, Marion, West Virginia
