History
Originally built in 1964, Birchmount Park has recently undergone a revitalization program as the Library and the Technical shops have been refurbished and modernized. At the same time, the school expanded its computer and display capabilities to increase the ease with which computer technology is integrated into all programs. The combined effect is to enhance literacy development within the school and increase differentiated learning opportunities for students.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“False history gets made all day, any day,
the truth of the new is never on the news
False history gets written every day
...
the lesbian archaeologist watches herself
sifting her own life out from the shards she’s piecing,
asking the clay all questions but her own.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
