PRESS RELEASE: March 30, 2023
WIth generous support from the Barr Foundation, eleven members of the Franklin school community went on a site visit to Mission Vista High School in Vista, California accompanied by facilitator, Carisa Corrow from Educating for Good. The trip coordinated by Next Generation Learning Challenge (NGLC) brought eight school teams from New England together to learn how Mission Vista uses project based learning as the vehicle for instruction and assessment.
Visiting team members included Superintendent Dan LeGallo, Principal David Levesque, School Board Chair Tim Dow, School Board Member Liz Cote, City Counselor Olivia Zink, community member Karen Darling, local business owner Joel Nylander, parent Belinda Lumsden and three Franklin youth, Aila Lumsden, Rhys Nylander and Ellie Zink. The seven other visiting teams from Berkshire Hills Regional, Holyoke, Lamoille South, VT, Lowell, Milford, MA, Southern Berkshire Regional and Springfield, MA also had varied teams of parents, school board members, and educators. In all twenty students attended the visit.
Mission Vista is a dual-magnet high school in the Vista Unified School District with a current student population of 1,693. The school runs on a 4x4 block, which means students take four classes each semester for 90 minutes each day. While demographics, school size and location are all much different than Franklin, the purpose of the trip was not to compare, but to discover what might be useful to bring back.
The trip also allowed the team to connect with other high schools in New England who are thinking deeply about how to do high school differently in order to improve student outcomes to ensure each
