Clark Reservation State Park
Clark Reservation State Park

Clark Reservation State Park is a state park in Onondaga County, New York. The park is in Jamesville, NY, in the Town of DeWitt, south of Syracuse. It was the site of a large waterfall formed by melting glacial ice at the end of the last Ice Age; the plunge basin at the base of the old falls is now a small lake. James Macfarlane described the area in 1879, "On approaching the lake from the turnpike on the south side, the tourist is startled at finding himself, without any notice, on the brink of a yawning gulf, precisely like that of the Niagara River below the Falls, and nearly as deep." Clark Reservation is also noted for its many ferns; it harbors the largest population in the U.S. of American hart's tongue, which is so rare that it was declared endangered in the U.S. in 1989.The park is 377 acres (153 ha) in size, and logs over 160,000 visitors per year. It encompasses the cliff, plunge basin and gorge of the ancient waterfall, and a number of secondary ravines and basins. Glacier Lake, which occupies the plunge basin of the former waterfall, is 6.2 acres (2.5 ha) in size and 52 feet (16 m) deep; it is a rare meromictic lake in which the deep waters don't mix annually with the surface waters. The surrounding limestone cliffs are 180 feet (55 m) high. Hiking trails skirt a half-ring of cliffs surrounding the lake, as well as traversing the rugged limestone over which the old river flowed. A Nature Center is operated by the Friends of Clark Reservation, a nonprofit organization staffed completely by volunteers. The Center has exhibits about the park's geology and natural history, and is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. In addition to staffing the Center, the Friends group also organizes events and retains a naturalist each summer to guide hikes and create nature programming for the public in the park. The park also offers fishing, hiking trails, picnic tables and pavilions, and a playground.

Nottingham High School (New York)

William Nottingham High School is a public high school located at 3100 East Genesee Street in Syracuse, New York. Part of the Syracuse City School District, the high school has an enrollment of about 1350 students in grades 9–12. The school was established in 1921 (making it the oldest, still functioning high school in the city of Syracuse) in the building that is now T. Aaron Levy Middle School. It was named for the prominent Syracuse attorney William Nottingham (1853–1921), who had served on the Syracuse University Board of Trustees and on the New York State Board of Regents. In 1952 the high school moved to its current location on East Genesee Street. Between 1977 and 1982 a new library, gym, and Olympic-sized swimming pool were added, and a walkway was built connecting the former George Washington Elementary School to the main building.The school offers many sports, including football, cheer, tennis, swimming, lacrosse, volleyball, bowling, golf, basketball, indoor track, crew, track & field, cross country, baseball, softball, and soccer. However, several of the sports are combined with other local schools to form Syracuse and Syracuse East. The school offers many AP and Honors courses such as AP World History, AP Literature & Composition, AP Language & Composition, aAP United States History, AP Government & Politics, and AP Calculus AB. It also offers some courses in association with nearby colleges and universities such as Onondaga Community College, Syracuse University and SUNY ESF (Environmental Science and Forestry). The Syracuse University program is called Syracuse University Project Advanced (SUPA) and offers college level courses in biology, psychology, statistics, calculus, physics, sociology, English, finance, and entrepreneurship. Courses through SUNY ESF include Conservation Psychology, Public Speaking, Creative Writing, Global Environment, Economics, and Government. The school also offers pre-calculus through Onondaga Community College. In terms of academics, the school grades on a numerical scale out of 100. Weighted coursework includes class through AP, SUPA, SUNY ESF, PLTW, and OCC. The school traditionally announces a valedictorian and salutatorian halfway through the school year for the graduating class. Traditionally, the top 20 of the graduating class earn recognition upon graduation, with the valedictorian and salutatorian receiving medals and giving addresses. Graduation ceremonies have recently been held at Onondaga Community College’s SRC Arena. The school was the subject of the book The World We Created at Hamilton High, by Gerald Grant.
