Which is more powerful: love or hate?

In many cultures, there is an idea that two forces work against one another. One is working for good, the other for bad. One chooses love, the other one chooses hate. What do you think? Which one wins? Which one is more powerful?

What is the biggest issue we face in our immediate community? Why don't more people do something about it?

quote

"History is a gallery of pictures, in which there are many copies and few originals"

Should we bother learning history if it's just going to repeat itself?

It has been said that history repeats itself. People claim that it is in an endless cycle that never completely stops. Is that true? Do things from the past happen again in a new context? If so, why would anyone ever want to change the world? Why bother studying history at all?

A Collage of Culture

We created this mural with the intent of demonstrating how our nation is a mosaic of cultures. It is black and white for a reason - to demonstrate that we share a common destiny as humanity. The middle part is in color as a symbol of our belief in freedom and the fact that we are all immigrants. Students created this in the 2006-2007 school year.





Borman Astro Mural

One area where students can help is in improving the look and feel of Borman. Unfortunately, people can have a negative view of the school. In sports, the gymnasium can seem sparse and empty. For these reasons, we have created an Astro mural. It will go in the gymnasium to remind schools that they are on Borman turf. Moreover, it is just one way to say "we love it here at our school and we are proud of what we accomplish."
