Central’s Big Ideas Group recently visited the Genesis Systems Group in Eldridge with teachers Gail Heninger and Jami Killian. The 17 TAG and science/math students toured the facility to learn about robotic welding and the many ways in which STEM subjects have connections in the real world. It was inspiring to have the president of the company, Joel Lorentzen, speak to the group about the importance of science, math, problem solving, working together as a team, and creativity to the students.
On December 14th, 1953, Life Magazine published an article entitled “An Examination of Secondary Education: First of a Series; U.S. Public High Schools”. This article featured Davenport High School, photographed by Yale Joel, and chronicled the daily efforts of the students and staff of the time. Click here to view the magazine and read the article (starting on page 133).
We would like to learn more about the individuals featured and photographed in the article. Where are they now? If you have any information about the mysterious motorcyclist, the young lady with her parrot, the students sneaking to the grocery store across the street for lunch, please contact us at mckissicks@mail.davenportschools.org.

A new offering from the Davenport Schools Foundation scholarship program this year will be the Jack King Music Scholarship, a $1,500 award to be presented next spring to a senior in Davenport Schools who has participated in high school band for all four years. Mr. King taught at Sudlow for 35 years. This scholarship is being made possible by a gift from Dr. Susan Perry and her husband, Stan Goodyear, of Davenport. They have contributed a significant gift to start this self-sustaining $1,500 annual scholarship. Now we are seeking support from Mr. King’s students and friends to expand the scope of the award each year. Please make checks payable to the Davenport Schools Foundation, with a note on the subject line, “Jack King Music Scholarship.” Send to DSF-Attn: Norm Bower, 1606 Brady Street, Davenport, IA52803. Thanks very much for helping to create this legacy gift in Jack’s honor!
