The vision for this site was formed through the collaborative
effort of participants in the National Endowment for the Humanities "Schools for
a New Millennium" grant. We are building a database of information about our community and developing inquiry projects based on that database.
As the Community Connections project reaches students, enthusiasm for humanities studies increases. Access to authentic information, professional collaboration and training, and support for student leadership in technology applications profoundly impacts lesson design and the quality of instruction.
