Group works on vision for Joplin High School

The Joplin Globe

In September, representatives from McREL, Apple Inc., Missouri Southern State University, and Pittsburg State University met with school officials and community members for the second time in Joplin, Missouri, to discuss how these organizations can contribute to a new vision for the city’s high school, which was destroyed by last May’s tornado. “It’s very seldom that a school district gets to start from scratch and create a vision and build a building around that vision,” said Superintendent C.J. Huff. Ideas discussed included the use of technology, flexible scheduling, the creation of a freshman wing, and implementation of “career cluster academies” in areas such as information technology, finance, and health sciences.
