  • The New College Try East Allen's Higher Education Jump-Start Paying Off
    JdbmalGazette .(L) JGSUNDAY CENTERPIECE (/OPINION/SUNDAY-CENTERPIECE) Sunday, June 03, 2018 1 :00 am The new college try East Allen's higher education jump-start paying off KAREN FRANCISCO I The Journal Gazette When the Indiana Department of Education released its list of Four Star Schools in February, East Allen University was among just 15 Allen County schools honored. That followed designation as an A school last October, reflecting the school's letter grade for the 2016-17 academic year. And East Allen's grade the previous year? An F, at least before East Allen County Schools officialssuccessfully petitioned for the grade to be nullified. How did an F-rated school become one of the top-ranked schools in the state over the course of a single academic year? No mystery there: It was never a failing school. The state's ill-advised grading formula gave the three-year-old East Allen University no credit in a graduation calculation because it had yet to produce its first graduating class. And, ironically, that class was headed to graduation success unusual among a// Indiana high schools. http://www.journalgazette.neUopinion/sunday-centerpiece/20180603/the-newcollege-try 1/4 1215/2018 The new college try I Sunday centerpiece I The Journal Gazette East Allen's early-college focus made for an exemplary school from the start, offering students a rigorous academic program and a strong head start. Beginning with the first graduates in 2016, most of East Allen's students complete Vincennes University courses to earn an associate's degree along with their high school diploma.

Murphey, Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne, & Dawn Runger Martz, Educator, Fort Wayne, Indiana Abstract In 2004, on the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas (1954), master’s students in a History of Education course were inspired to investigate Brown’s legacy in local school corporations. One student explored the history of a local high school that appeared to be racially imbalanced relative to the corporation as a whole. She delves into the history of the high school, focusing on the political struggles about consolidation and racial balance that enveloped the school corporation in the 1980s and early 1990s, then places these struggles within the context of economic and demographic change in the school corporation as well as in the county.
