Bellevue West High School

Bellevue West High School in Bellevue, Nebraska is one of two high schools in the Bellevue community. We currently serve 1,654 students in grades 9 through 12. Bellevue was incorporated in 1855, making it the oldest city in the state and currently ranks as the third largest city in Nebraska. Bellevue is home of Offut Air Force Base where the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) is located and many of the students who attend West are from families of all branches of the military.

Students from the Contemporary Media Issues class were selected to work on this project. These students represent a cross-section of the student population at Bellevue West. The class teacher and the school librarian are partnering to lead the group as they develop their archives. The students are using online resources such as the class website to collaborate on the project, as well as in-person meetings as needed. The class is a semester class, so select students from second semester have joined the first semester students and will continue to add to the initial collections they created. The new students will also develop a collection of their own.
