Thinking about college? It's never too early to do so. This is directed at juniors. The Questbridge program helps low income students by matches with colleges as well as many scholarship opportunities which will become available in February 2009. Some of the schools in partnership with them include: California Institute of Technology, Haverford College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, Parsons The New School for Design, University of Pennsylvania, and Wesleyan University as new partners in 2008. Check it out!
A Note about Plagiarism: Plagiarism is a serious problem both in high schools and colleges across the country. It is unacceptable in this class as well. Please read Plagiarism in Colleges USA, noting what constitutes plagiarism as well as how you can avoid it.

Seniors - Ongoing Information About Events/Projects  A couple years ago the seniors began
working on projects related to the problems the Dine'h in Arizona are
currently facing as a part of their community service as well as in
class assignments. Since this is still an ongoing problem for
these people, most of whom are elders, and to provide real life
experience, more projects will arise on this topic throughout the
semester. At this link along with others I may give you
throughout the year, current information about the Dine'h can be found
at Black
Mesa Indigenous Support and SENAA
International. Also, there will be
participation in some letter writing campaigns through Global Response
Network. The issues addressed by this network rainforest
destruction, environmental racism, toxic waste exports, hazardous waste
production, resource exploitation, indigenous rights, and air and water
pollution issues, all being subjects of concern in the 21st century as
well as those things that will shape and affect your lives in the
future.
