Students at Community High School participate in a variety of hands-on
learning experiences in all of their classes. The entire school recently had
the opportunity to make history come alive by meeting Holocaust survivor
Irving Roth. The student leadership class fundraised the money to bring him
here. Students also partake in a wide variety of science experiments and
kinesthetic classroom learning experiences.

Students from Mr. Shanafelt's
Geometry class joined the Spitfire newspaper staff to take part in
a unique international experience during Term 3. The students used Mr.
Shanafelt's new technology to take part in a web conference with students
from England, France, and Germany. The school contacted principal Craig Ross
last year, asking us to be a part of an on-going international diversity
project. Future web meetings will occur in Fall 2010.

Above: Students watch and listen as a student from Germany asks
them a question during the web conference.

As a part of our Positive Behavior Support system, students are rewarded
for good behavior with several carnivals and assemblies held throughout the
year. Students can also win prizes as a part of the PBS "Bee" drawings. In
addition to the carnivals, Community High also hosts a winter formal and a
prom.

Subway.
