21st _{CENTURY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS MUST ADAPT TO SUPPORT}

(21)

“The curriculum for Clark Hall will be a model for what

education can be. Gahanna H.S. students mirror

modern society and we recognize that the days of

traditional H.S. teaching and learning are coming to

an end.

Today’s students want choices in curriculum, freedom

to learn in different ways and at different speeds, and

a physical environment that promotes creativity,

freedom, and high expectations.”
