New Hampshire High School Reform

The Department of Education recently released its vision of how high schools in New Hampshire can be redesigned to better fit new standards that became law in 2005 which allow schools more flexibility in how, when and where kids learn. The 50 page redesign document is seen by its creators as one more step in the move from “bricks and mortar” to “real world” learning.
