The Institutions of Higher Education in Greensboro have had their spring graduation ceremonies and are gearing up for summer school. High school students are in the middle of AP exams as well as International Baccalaureate and EOC common exams. The North Carolina curriculum and exams have changed this year. Teachers have worked very hard to implement the changes.
The above photo, taken a couple of months ago on the campus of Greensboro College, represents the students' side of education. It captures that feeling on being alone, pensive, and carrying a great weight one one's shoulder. Students are the reason teachers are so dedicated. Students are the reason schools, colleges, and universities try so hard to make school seem like a home away from home.
Greensboro College, affiliated with the Methodist Church, was founded in 1838 on 80 acres located near downtown Greensboro. If you want to see an expanded view of the View House (by Assistant Professor Ted Efremoff) go here. Better yet, head downtown and see if the View House is still on display. Greensboro College is a lovely place to go for a walk. If you see any students, send them some words of encouragement.
See the Life section of the News & Record (Section C) for photos of graduates of the local IHE's.
