Unicom High School

4/16/2013

    So in the middle of nowhere in the Free State is the small rural school of Unicom.  Of all the schools I've visited, Unicom is the especially well suited to partner with Ithaca High School.  Their grounds and buildings are over a hundred years old, but because of their excellent exam results they have been given a lot of attention by the province and the University of the Free State.  Consequently they have a very modern computer lab, and a very knowledgeable leader in my host and fellow math teacher, Victor Fekefeke.  A lot of the students actually live on campus in dorms because they come from distant farms.  The school has beautiful grounds and they raise their own cattle and chickens.  It's a nice break from the townships: quiet, crime-free and peaceful.
