Mrs. Bourgeous was my teacher last year and we learned a little about this. We never went on a field trip though. But i think its awesome that these guys get to see what is going on instead of just hearing about it.

I think that the technology given has granted students with the chance to educate their peers. They are able to make slide shows to present to the class. Clearfield is an amazing school something that most people do not see.

This grant has been a great experience for Clearfield High. CHS is an older building but the students and faculty are superior and if equipped with the right tools can achieve amazing results. All three teachers highlighted in this clip are dedicated, hard-working and exceptional teachers who are using technology to continue to improve what they all ready do--and that is to be great teachers!!

This is really cool to see run down old Clearfield high school getting some technology.
When I went there, we had cardboard up in the windows during the winter because there was no glass.
