“My focus will be on introductory gaming technology studies,” replied Kelle Lofty, a top teacher at the new school, “and from there I’ll also be helping the advanced groups”
“We’re excited to announce ground-breaking on our city’s newest project, a gaming technology school for talented students to foster careers and livelihoods,” exclaimed Kroes Machuga, chairperson of the project. Construction is set to begin next month, after final plans by architect Moselle Schreyer are approved by the gaming technology school’s building and grounds committee. “Once construction begins, we estimate a two year completion time,” said Iruegas Kundtz, foreman and construction planner. In all, 100 different courses will be offered by the school, not including non-gaming technology related studies. The curriculum was written by a team of educators headed by Dr. Lenora Dobrasz, a nationally recognized curriculum consultant and educational guru. In addition, amny contributions were offered by Parlato Kollar, an area education consultant who will help write the gaming technology work-study portion of the curriculum. “This project is vast but will be very beneficial to our youth,” stated Parlato Kollar. The new gaming technology school will also be taking advantage of the internet as its primary source of text book information. Instead of buying costly standardized text books that go out of date within 2-3 years, each classroom will be fitted with simple lap-top computer stations that will allow students to login to whatever materials their teacher suggests for the current gaming technology oriented lesson. “This initiative will save paper, save time, and make use of the information super-highway,” said teacher Maryjane Friedlander, who will be offering an engineering class, “and since we won’t have to update texts every couple of years, the information we use from the net will always be up to date and relevent to each field offered at our gaming technology school.” “We’re also very excited about our athletics department,” said Coach Lubow Pilley, who will be also acting as the gaming technology school’s General Athletic Director, “which will be open to all students with a B- or better overall average. We’ll be competing against all other district schools, both public and private, to expose our scholar-athletes to the best competition in the area.” Opening day ceremonies will feature state representative Vanderbie Selders, and Senator Kiley Niedzielski, who will each offer remarks about the gaming technology School and Academy. Ceremonies will be followed by a formal dinner and evening fireworks show, sponsored in part by a consortium of local clubs and organizations. The gaming technology school, which will be located 2 miles east of city hall, will be a great location as a gathering place for public functions, sporting events, and youth sports leagues. Area sports coordinator Hailey Herwood was thrilled when the town approved the project, stating: “We desparately needed facilities for all our programs, and the high school was running out of space. Now, with this gaming technology school getting built, and fields set to be operational next Spring, we will have plenty of space for people to recreate and enjoy team sports.” A key part of this new gaming technology institution will be its work study program, which will allow qualified students the opportunity to enjoy classroom and on-the-job training. “This aspect of our curriculum will really prepare students for the real world,” said teacher Ester Michalik, “and we believe it will help them gain meaningful employment after graduation. In addition, career counselors and experts will rotate through the gaming technology school on a frequent basis, offering seminars, coaching sessions, and guidance. Industrial Arts coordinator Gisler Errington expressed relief that ground breaking on the gaming technology project will begin, stating: “We’ve worked hard for almost five years now planning, organizing, and developing what we think will be the nation’s best gaming technology learning center. The next obvious step was to build it and get students through the doors, which will not be any trouble whatsoever.” Gisler Errington has been a favorite IA teacher at many schools, and will be taking charge at the gaming technology school and academy from the opening day.
