Video Tours Made by Students and Their High Schools

March 24, 2008 RSS Feed Print

We’ve crunched the numbers and ranked America’s Best High Schools, but that’s only part of the story. Here are videos submitted by some of the top schools telling us what—they think—makes them great.

[Check out all of our student-produced Best High Schools videos here]

The Best High Schools section of our website has become extremely popular as users search our vast rankings and directory pages. With all that curiosity out there, U.S.News & World Report asked the Gold Medal schools—our Top 100 in the nation—to send us videos that capture the essence of what makes their schools special.

Our goal in creating this video community is to spark a dialogue and an exchange of ideas among students, teachers, parents, and school systems. The videos we’ve received so far are creative, insightful, and informative.

But don’t take our word for it. Watch the videos, share them, and tell us what you think by posting your comments. We’ll be adding more videos as they come in.

Diversity at Davidson Magnet School Augusta GA
Cameron Wilk of OH states that less than 10% of the top schools shows diversity. At Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School in Augusta, GA the school is heavily diversified. There is no color barriers as the students work together to perform musicals, plays and other various arts. It is a team effort. As a play is developed, props are created, rehearsals performed over and over, stage crews are required from sound to video, etc.... Davidson's students blend together to produce a fine quality masterpiece. Just look at the video they submitted to US News and World report. The video the school created is an orginal music video to explain the school and its students.

God has called us to use soccer and other celebrated sports as a tool to reach our community around us and win souls for Christ. The women play net ball and the men are fairing well with soccer. Our soccer team has so far registered 28 born-again members- all young men with an interest in soccer and a passion for winning souls to the Kingdom of God.
Salvation is both a commitment to Christians and a life style, not just a confession. Acts 17:28 "For in him we live and move and have our being." We live it, play, praise, and enjoy it even in sports. The Lord wants us to reach the lost with our skills, talents and much more. God is calling us to use, and do everything heavenly and Biblically acceptable to depopulate hell and populate heaven.
The notion that salvation is a bore needs to be put out. People, especially the Christian youth need to know that they can still enjoy their God given hobbies and use their talents in their walk with Jesus.
On 9th May 2005 Christ Sanctuary Soccer Team actively began. A match between the marrieds and the singles was played to locate talent within the fellowship. The married beat the singles 1-0. This opened a way for other friendly matches with non-believers that are gradually giving their lives to Christ after the game.
The team is led by a Sports Pastor that shares a message from the Bible before and after every training session. The soccer team is presently the defending champions of the Kiira Town Council Church League in Eastern Kampala.
Soccer update:
God blessed us with our own soccer pitch at a near by suburb about 15 minutes walk or 10 minutes drive from the church premises in Kireka. We praise God
