New Century High School

New next year at the Ballard High School campus will be a separate evening school, New Century High School. Students will attend classes from 3 - 8 p.m. For the first school year, 200- 03, the school will sign up only ninth and tenth grade students, who will enjoy small class sizes and project-based, community-centered education. BHS principal David Engle says one curriculum theme will be transportation, which will involve students in studying social work, statistics, land use, and many other subjects.
