HAMMOND â School City of Hammond teachers presented findings of a student-led project about how to come together as one at the new Hammond Central High School.
At a Wednesday school board meeting, Nathan Foor, instructional coach at George Rogers Clark Middle/High School, and Kimberly Montero, an English teacher at Hammond High School, led the presentation.
The Hammond Central Wolves Project had students answer three main questions: âWho am I?â, âWho are we?,â and âWho are the wolves?â
Students also explored more specific questions such as, What should a successful school provide for students? In the project presentation, one student said, Comfort, students should feel like they belong.

HAMMOND â For George Rogers Clark Middle/High School students and alumni, itâs time to say goodbye.
As the message on a souvenir T-shirt stated: âDonât cry because itâs over. Smile because it happened.â
Clark, along with Gavit and Hammond high schools, is closing after this school year. Clarkâs administration organized walk-through tours Saturday and May 8 and 22.
Saturdayâs tours were expected to draw 130 people, with nearly 200 scheduled for May 8 and another 150 registered so far for May 22.
Decades after graduation, memories of Clark remain.
