There has been discussion here in the past about whether or not High Schools website should be included in eduStyle. The majority of the opinions were heard were that High Schools needed a place of their own. I was pretty excited yesterday to get an email from Zac Gordon who has put together just that place, Web Gallery High. Zac teaches web design and development at Springbrook High School and Montgomery College, both in Maryland. He described to me some of the reasons for developing the site:

The idea for a high school site came pretty much at the same time I first saw eduStyle a few years ago.  There are not many high schools out there that have standards compliant sites, and the students and teachers who take their time to develop them deserve some recognition.  This goes along with my work to improve webucation at the high school and college level.

Congrats on the Launch of Web Gallery High and all of your other efforts spread awareness of standards based web design. You can see other stuff that Zac is doing on his education website and at his web design company’s site.

If you are interested in Zac’s efforts to improve “webucation” you may also be interested in the two articles from the latest edition of A List Apart:
