City High Participates in Future-Driven Schools: Reimagining High School Conference

City High students Matthew (11) and Gianna (10) speaking on a panel of their peers about their experience as students at City High.


Remake Learning hosted a special session on December 5 focused on Reimagining High School, part of its larger Future-Driven Schools initiative, which brings together 47 local districts to design stronger, more forward-thinking learning experiences for students across the region.

Students from City High, along with peers from Beaver, Keystone Oaks, and Peters Township, gathered at the Kamin Science Center to share firsthand stories of the innovative opportunities that have shaped their educational journeys.

City High ambassadors Gianna G. and Matthew S. highlighted several hallmark experiences from their time at City High, including serving as Student Ambassadors, performing with Poetry Alive!, and participating in the LEAP program.

City High CEO, Dr. Dara Allen, also attended the event, where she served as a high school redesign expert on a panel moderated by the PA Secretary of Education, Dr. Carrie Rowe.

Congratulations to Dr. Allen and our Student Ambassadors for doing a great job representing City High at this event!
