Back in 1991, Honda opened the Eagle Rock School as part of the brand’s dedication to promoting corporate social responsibility. This unique school is a year-round, residential, full-scholarship high school that is located on a 640-acre campus on a mountainside in Estes Park, Colorado. This school and Professional Development Center was originally built in order to offer students an alternative to traditional classroom teaching in order to help them succeed academically. The school helps to educate the students while the Professional Development Center works with teachers and administrators from all over the U.S. to help them develop a unique and engaging experiences for their own school programs. "Through the strength of our on-campus community, we're able to connect with each of our students in unique and meaningful ways —  and help students re-engage in their own education," said Jeff Liddle, head of school, Eagle Rock School & Professional Development Center. "Our sole purpose for existing — re-engaging youth in their own education — drives us toward a new vision for schooling where all students are productively engaged in their own education while simultaneously making a positive difference in the world." Recently, Honda released a new video series that highlights the efforts of this program. We have both videos available for you below. Engaging Youth On Campus: Making High School Impactful:
