Sixty students, fifteen pizzas, twenty schools, and four eve-nings of intensive study. The High School Genesis Project, now in its fourth year, continues to provide opportunities for high school juniors and seniors in Baltimore-area public, independent, and parochial schools to discover new ways of learning together.

The ICJS is grateful to Baltimore City College and The Bryn Mawr School for hosting this program. We are indebted to the Becker Family Fund of the Baltimore Community Foundation and the Baltimore Equitable Insurance Fund for their support. And we extend a special thanks to our wonderful facilitators: Geoff Basik, Emily Gaines Demsky, Donna Lee Frisch, Judy Frumkin, David Holland, Alice Jellema, and David Owens. Emily Gaines Demsky offers a reflection on her experience as a facilitator.
