In the late 1950s, self-esteem hadn't yet been invented. High schools saw their sole mission as preparing students thoroughly for academic work.

We saw it done at other high schools and we thought it would be really fun.

Homophobia is manufactured in high schools, so it's probably useful to keep in mind that it really does bother people.

When nearly a third of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers, we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential.

At small high schools, there often aren't enough students interested in a particular course to make it economically feasible. Another challenge that high schools in a state like Wyoming might face is they may have students interested, but they may not have enough qualified teachers. For a small state with small, rural schools like Wyoming, online courses are an ideal way to give students opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have.

Schools like Grove City, Brigham Young, and Hillsdale are some of our more popular schools. Their students are usually of very high caliber.
