Unlocking the Beginning, Commemorating the End

Picture
In 1971, at the setting of the cornerstone of the West Philadelphia-University City High School, student leaders, community leaders, school administration, and school district officials placed mementos of the time into the cornerstone as a time capsule.  It is now 2013, the final year of University City High School.  To capture UCHS’s history and legacy, our Urban Education 2 course will create a digital time capsule, stored on this website.

Story, Voice, Audience

Below is a video summarizing the work we are doing to tell our stories and the school's story through their educational autobiographies and the digital time capsule.  This video was shared with the Department of Labor, the School District, and other schools on May 29, 2013.
