The Story of Our Schools invites schools in the District of Columbia to partner with us to share, via exhibition space, their individual "School Story" as seen through the students' eyes. Students in each school, guided by teachers, parents, community leaders, curators, and exhibit designers, will develop their own storylines that visually showcase their school's history, philosophies, practices, and future plans. When completed, these high-quality exhibits will remain permanently in place to instill a sense of pride in the school's community, inform and excite prospective families and residents, enhance parents and family engagement, and create engaging learning tools for teaching history, research skills, and critical thinking.
