Synopsis

A practical study of how high schools can become centers for constructive social life and learning.

This edition explores how student energy and social energy can be channeled into education and growth.

The book argues that schools should acknowledge adolescent social impulses and guide them toward healthy, educational activities. It discusses how high schools can act as democratic, community-centered hubs that arrange dances, debates, athletic events, and clubs in ways that support learning and character.

Readers will see how a school’s organization can shape social life, reduce risky behavior, and foster responsible participation in the larger community. The text also outlines the relationship between curriculum, social life, and personal development within the high school setting.

  • How a high school can serve as the center of social and intellectual life for students and the community

  • Strategies for democratically organizing clubs, events, and social functions
