Cervin plays football and baseball, is involved in his church and community and will soon be an Eagle Scout. The HPHS site is the result of purely student work. With such active Webmasters, they are in touch with the pulse of the entire campus. Lyle reported that all aspects of the school are covered in the Web pages - from languages and social studies, to math and science, to extracurricular activities and academic planning. Updating the site four or five times per week, Lyle and Cervin keep the information new and fresh.
Classes post assignments and announcements on the pages.
Teachers may place links to various educational Web pages that would enhance their curriculum as well. These talented Webmasters realize the Internet will never replace quality teaching, but it serves as a wonderful supplement to education. The Internet is important in education because it provides an opportunity to better education. Cool School award winners at Highland Park High School will receive exclusive Cool School T-shirts and mouse pads, two commemorative plaques, Cool School award certificates, plus a Cool School award winner button for their Web site. They put a lot of time and work into creating these sites.
