Rebuilding Yorkin: Yorkin High School

Having a local high school in Yorkin was a high-priority need for the community, as the students were having to walk 3 hours to the nearest high school. Because of the great inconvenience and time commitment involved in just getting to school, the large majority of students didn't end up finishing the school year.

However, in 2006 Yorkin High School was opened - the last of a government-sponsored program for "satellite" high schools in remote locations. That program has since been terminated, with the Yorkin school being the final project funded. The government paid for one professor to teach all materials, using the help of video and DVD to complement the instruction. Funds and volunteer labor efforts from Colorado Community Church helped to construct the first classroom. There were ___ students in the first class. Now in its 3rd year of existence there are currently 3 grade levels, each with one professor. As students progress through the grade levels a new one will be added each year and new students enter into the first year studies until all five high school grade levels are occupied. There are now a total of ___ students, 3 classrooms and a dining hall with kitchen.
