SUMMARY:2023 HYPE Conference
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 HYPE conference\, hosted by Souhegan High School’s Ethics Forum\, is coming up on Thursday\, March 16th. \nHYPE stands for “Hosting Young Philosophy Enthusiasts” and was founded by Souhegan seniors in 2009 as an opportunity for high school students to have meaningful philosophical discussions centered on philosophical topics centered on ethics and civil discourse.  HYPE is unique because it is an authentic high school student conference created\, designed and led by high school students for high school students.  The HYPE project and its affiliated student voice and leadership programs provide students from all over the greater New England region\, the chance to have discussions at large and small student-led conferences at a number of venues in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.  Based on the educational tenets of Souhegan High School\, the great tradition of Socratic dialogue endorsed by the University of New Hampshire Durham’s department of philosophy and the directives of St. Anselm College’s ethics and leadership training\, students discuss important issues and topics not only with their peers but also with experts who help to shape their ideas and perspectives.\n\nSchools interested in this program should contact Christopher Brooks\, coordinator of the HYPE program\, through the following e-mail: cbrooks@sau39.org.

Liz earned a BA in History from Colorado State University and has been teaching social studies at Polaris Expeditionary Learning School in Fort Collins\,CO since 2010. In May of 2020\, Liz completed her MA in American History through the Gilder Lehrman program at Pace University. At Polaris\, she teaches US History and American Government each year along with various rotating additional social studies courses including We the People\, World Geography\, American Sports History\, National Parks.\n\n\nLiz believes that the classroom should be a safe and welcoming place for students to ask questions and seek answers\, collaborate with teachers and peers\, practice unconventional and imaginative thinking\, grow as citizens and leaders\, and develop meaningful analytical and communication skills that will serve them for the rest of their life. Her favorite part about teaching is seeing students light up when they understand concepts\, make connections\, develop new lines of inquiry\, create work they are proud of\, and discover their own love of learning. When not in the classroom\, Liz can most likely be found at the ballpark cheering on the Rockies\, traversing trails on her mountain bike\, protecting her garden from Colorado’s ever-changing weather\, exploring the world\, or spending time with her partner\, Scott and their dog\, Chauncey.
