“The historical society has become a model for how the business community can partner with schools to improve students’ educational experiences.” ”
For Students
Partner with us on Extended Learning Opportunities (ELOs)
The historical society has partnered with teachers in the Exeter High School history department on several occasions to provide students with Extended Learning Opportunities (ELOs). Examples of ELOs include creating a Lincoln Resource Center website, in-depth research on an Exeter artist and a mural and website about Exeter’s forgotten history. Contact a social studies teacher at your school if you’d like to do an ELO of your own.
Youth Night/Rho Kappa Celebration of Learning - April
Youth Night will be held on Tuesday, April 16th from 6 - 7:30pm at Exeter High School. It will feature our student trustees and celebrate the achievements of history students at the Cooperative Middle School and Exeter High School.
For Teachers
School Group Visits
The Exeter Historical Society welcomes school children of all ages interested in an aspect of Exeter history. To the classroom teachers, we offer on-site programs at the Historical Society, outreach visits at your school, or a combination of the two catered to fit your particular needs. If desired, we will work with the teacher to customize a program to help meet specific educational standards. There is a minimal charge for some of these programs. Please inquire for pricing.
“With remarkable success the commitment of EHS staff members and SAU 16 schools has engendered a collaboration that is focused on both the sharing of history and the development of a passion for understanding and appreciating the past. The students within [the district] are the true beneficiaries of the EHS efforts. The seeds of interest that they have planted — and continue to plant — will bear fruit that will be shared with future generations.””
