The two-day exchange between 10 Catlin High School seniors and 10 Danville
High School seniors on Feb. 19 and 20 is the senior service-learning
project of Catlin seniors Alex Burke and Caleb Cord.
They wanted to give peers from their small, rural and mostly-white school
a chance to experience a larger, more racially diverse school — and give
their Danville counterparts a chance to experience their school for a day.
They also wanted to bring students from both schools together to discuss
their similarities and differences and find common ground.
