Talking Trash: Throwing Out the Big Apple

Urban Investigations

Old School New School

Through interviews, adventures, and a small time machine, public high school students illuminated the high school application process and made a website and a giant bookmark to share what they learned.

At a community workshop, one parent said, “I worry a lot. How do I help my daughter choose a school? What you’ve made is so clear. It will help her get the essence of how you choose a high school.”

Middle school students, parents, and guidance counselors can visit the website to watch helpful videos on choosing a high school that feature the students and a talking bird named McJagger. Get a paper version of the project for a colorful visual timeline of the application process that you can use to take notes on and plan your school visits.
