Below are just some of the many excellent student projects shared and highlighted from the 2021-22 school year.

Tyrone Area High School – The Eagle Eye News

The local Chamber of Commerce sold and hung banners in downtown Tyrone to honor local veterans.  The students started a project to write biographical stories about the veterans on the banners and created QR code posters to put on the light poles so pedestrians could use their phones to read about the veterans on the poles. Six stories were done last fall and more are in production right now. The plan is for this to be an ongoing project and add more stories each year!

Here is the link to their story and a copy of The Eagle Eye News flyer and an example of the poster put on the light poles.

York College of Pennsylvania – The Spartan

A few weeks ago when masks became optional, class members fanned out to get student reaction.  The story appeared in The Spartan (see link below) as well as in The York Dispatch.
