High School 101 begins this week. In this program, eighth graders meet weekly to discuss their Legacy Projects--the systems, programs, and innovations they'll leave behind at Summers-Knoll--and to make plans in preparation for the wider world of ninth grade and beyond.
This week we'll review the fifteen or so candidates for the next level of schooling. Ann Arbor is blessed with many wonderful options, including conventional schools, independents, charters, alternatives, and religious schools. There is no Summers-Knoll High School, but there are several institutions that speak our language of authenticity, dynamism, and challenge.
At present, our recent alumni are thriving at Community High, Pioneer High, Skyline High, and Washtenaw International (WiHi). Our kids will also take a close look at Greenhills, Huron, Rudolf Steiner, Washtenaw Technical Middle College, and several other area institutions.
