Linworth Alternative Program - History

History

The Linworth Alternative Program opened in the fall of 1973 as another high school option for students who also attended Worthington High School. Later, when the school district created two new schools, Linworth became an option for those who went to the new schools; Thomas Worthington High School or Worthington Kilbourne High School. The goal of the program is to fully engage students in their educations. This is accomplished by creating situations in which students have to make choices, take on more responsibility, and to actively apply what they have learned through experiential education.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    At present cats have more purchasing power and influence than the poor of this planet. Accidents of geography and colonial history should no longer determine who gets the fish.
    Derek Wall (b. 1965)
