Gilbert alumni of '61 asked to tell life stories
Fifty-one years after being selected to take part in the Project Talent study of American high school students, the class of 1961 from Gilbert High School is being asked to participate once again.
In 1960, 400,000 students took part in Project Talent, a study of the aptitudes and abilities, hopes and expectations of high school students from across America.
The study was conducted by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) and the United States Office of Education.
Now the original Project Talent participants, including Gilbert High School's class of 1961, are being asked to tell their stories in a follow-up study being planned by AIR.
"The Project Talent generation is very important in the history of the country," says Sabine Horner, Project Talent's Director of Outreach and Communications. "They came of age during an era of great upheaval and they transformed the United States as we knew it. Project Talent is an opportunity to share their perspectives and experiences in a meaningful way that can benefit future generations."For the full story, subscribe to the The Franklin Sun's NEW E-Edition! |
