Why we are here . . .

“I believe that the purpose of education is not to make men
carpenters, but to make carpenters men. To be competitive in a
workplace that is changing and will change continuously
throughout our careers, my peers and I need to be able to read
and understand new information at a level never before
prevalent. This should be, however, a familiar aim for the forces
of academia, however, since what we must learn, in
essence, is to learn.

I would ensure a broad and balanced education that exposes
every student to rigorous inquiry in every discipline, from physics
to pottery and makes them active participants in the process
of inquiry and learning.”
(11th grader, Pittsburgh PA)
