Abstract
 GIS in High School Education: Developing Community Projects Track: Community Projects and Partnerships Author(s): Mila Lynne Powell High school EAST students in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, used GIS to serve their community through a 911 mapping project, emergency evacuation landing zone project and city multi-mapping project. The 911-mapping project identified rural roads and streets and created a computer program that displayed them for 911 emergency calls. ArcView 3.3, ArcView Network Analyst, and route analysis were used for this project. The emergency evacuation landing zone project identified and mapped landing zones in 4 Northwest Arkansas counties. ArcGIS 8 and 9, Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst, slope and population analysis were used for this project. The students mapped the Historic District, created contour maps for a local park, mapped the city's 307 fire hydrants, and mapped an historic cemetery. ArcGIS 9 and elevation data were used for local park project. Future GIS plans include establishing a County Technology Center.
