The changes that have been going on in this West Philidelphia school has turned the school into a high-tech zone where children are encouraged to continue their education into college.
When the $63 million High School of the Future, built with Microsoft's guidance, opened in West Philadelphia last fall, students and teachers were wowed by the 21st-century trappings: plasma screens, ceiling projectors, laptops for all, and lockers that open with the swipe of a card. Officials hope the school will be one of the first in the nation to go paperless. And talk about raising the bar: In an inner-city area where many drop out of high school, students must apply to at least one college before graduating.
