Marshall FluhartyMaroon Echoes Reporter C.E.L.L (Civic Engagement Leadership) is a class that helps skilled students use critical thinking in everyday situations and life. Taught by MPCHS Social Studies teacher Scott Stribe, students plan projects, visit with local professionals, and listen to guest speakers. With goals and brainstorming, they plan out community projects.
There are 12 students within the current class, including high school junior Olivia Larson, who has three projects planned for this semester alone. They’re group projects with a mixture of community focus and ‘For-Students' school projects. The class uses problem-solving procedures to narrow down possible solutions. They have a mood meter and blog about what they’re working on each day. This helps them reflect on current issues and promotes hard thinking while pursuing the best possible solutions. “We stand up and tell everyone our goals, and if we’re stuck we talk out our project problems to solve them as a class,” says Larson. The C.E.L.L class is currently working on ideas that include green rooftops and more study spaces for students. Larson works both in and out of school on her own personal project, a youth forum. “I love this class, it's my favorite class of the day!”
