John R. Buchtel Community Learning Center, formerly known as John R. Buchtel High School and often referred to as Buchtel High School or Buchtel CLC, is a public high school in Akron, Ohio, United States, serving grades 7–12. It is one of seven high schools in the Akron Public Schools. As of 2012, the school has an enrollment of 764 students.[2]
Buchtel High School opened in 1931 and is named after Akron industrialist and philanthropist John R. Buchtel, who helped to organize and finance a number of early Akron firms, including the Goodrich Corporation. Buchtel is best known for his role in the establishment of Buchtel College, which later became the University of Akron. Buchtel and his wife contributed more than $500,000 to the college over the course of his life.[3]
In 2012, the old Buchtel High School building was torn down after the completion of the new "Community Learning Center". The school was designed expand learning from grades 9-12 by including students in grades 7-8 who had previously attended Perkins Middle School. This was part of a larger project called "Imagine Akron Community Learning Centers" to rebuild or remodel all Akron Public Schools.[4]
Starting in the 2012 - 2013 school year, the ninth and tenth graders will participate in New Tech. The New Tech is a model used in the new ways of teaching which implements modern technology, such as laptops and Smart Boards into the curriculum. Based on a version of "Project Based Learning", students complete projects to show topic and subject mastery and to integrate new types of technology specifically used for teaching.
