The New American High School Project
In May 1996, ten outstanding high schools were selected by the United States
Department of
Education and the National Center for Research in Vocational Education as
leading examples
of New American High Schools. These schools are making great strides in
preparing students for college
and careers at the same time. All ten share a commitment to comprehensive
restructuring so that all students have
opportunities to:
- achieve high levels of academic and technical skills
- prepare for college and careers
- learn in the context of a career major or other career interest
- learn by doing -- in the classrooms, workplaces, or community service
- work with teachers in small schools-within-schools
- receive extra support from adult mentors
- access a wide range of information on careers and postsecondary education
and training
- use technology to enhance learning
- benefit from strong links between high schools and postsecondary
institutions.
Please call the schools' contacts for more information and strategies.
Note: The New American High Schools project at NCRVE ended in 1997, and the contacts listed below
are not being actively maintained.
