"Our Stories"
 St. George has a rich and unique history, culture and traditions that come from its people, geography and natural resources. The past is our foundation. Yet, change and new challenges will shape the future of St. George. We believe that by building knowledge (ethnographic and oral history skills) and by using technology (GPS/GIS), students will be better prepared to take an active community role. "Our Stories" will be an opportunity to learn more about our community. There are many stories to tell. Together, these stories are "Our Stories".
