Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and George Washington Community High School: Educating Their Communities Together

Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis worked with the residents and leadership of three neighborhoods adjacent to the campus to reopen the closed George Washington High School. The resulting partnership has strengthened the civic engagement mission of the university, and contributed to an award-winning community-based school. The partnership most recently was recognized with a 2010 Outreach Scholarship/W. K. Kellogg Foundation Engagement Award for the North Central Region.
