Document Number: 8987 A Five-Year Evaluation of a Comprehensive High School Civic Engagement Initiative - In September 2003, Hudson High School in Massachusetts launched two new civic development efforts - clustering and school-wide governance - providing an opportunity to study the influence of school-wide democratic deliberation on students' civic knowledge and participation. Clusters of 100-150 students met for one hour a week to discuss governance and other school-related issues. Successive classes of twelfth graders have shown improvements on measures of community service and political knowledge and the improvements have been widespread in the student body.
