New School Year, New Website
To start the school year on the right foot, we are excited to announce new changes to the Education portal on HSP’s website. This summer, as an Education intern, I was tasked with creating a new look for the Education section of the website. To create a new template for the website, we worked with our Teacher Advisory Board as they used their own experience and knowledge of what resources were most useful to them. If you have been exploring the Education page over the summer, you may have even noticed some of these changes slowly going into effect. Wednesday, 8/5/15 4:42 pm
