The BHS Learning Community/Berea Amoebas is made up of 7 people. Five students: Eddie Holecko, Adrienne Ellis, Patrick D'Agostino, Taylor Hinton, and Anna Carias. The teacher is Mrs. Draves and the peer mentor is Sam Narduzzi from Hiram College. The LC students are enrolled in Advanced Placement Environmental Science for the 2009-2010 school year and were fortunate to apply and be rewarded the ISLS opportunity during summer 2009.
  Berea High School is located at the corner of Eastland and Bagley Roads in Berea, Ohio. There are 1100 students that attend BHS and the numbers continue to decline. Berea High School is one of two high schools in Berea City School District. BCSD educates over 7000 students of which 15% are minoritiy. Economically disadvantaged comprise 30% of the population in BCSD. BCSD has two middle schools, and six elementary schools. Due to declining enrollment district wide, much consideration has been given to combining schools in the future in order to be financially secure. |
