Track: Learning and Research Lightning Talk
Authors: Katelyn Chadwick, Michael Wagner

Loudoun County Public Schools (VA) and James Madison University have been partners through the Geospatial Semester for the past 8 years. What started as a course taught in one school and a handful of students has become a course offering in 7 high schools with over 200 students earning college credit each year. This presentation will discuss the evolution of the Geospatial Science course, which now includes curriculum for second year students.
