In 2002, the Rockwell Museum of Western Art established a partnership with the High School Learning Center. With the support of The Triangle Fund and Mission Committee of Christ Episcopal Church, the Identity and the Artist program was formed. Throughout the year, students create art and writing projects that explore issues concerning identity, affording them opportunities to gain greater self-awareness. In addition, the program allows students to explore the Museum collection in-depth and engages them in tours and exhibits of artistic works. Led by Museum staff and local artists, in collaboration with High School Learning Center staff, the program addresses the academic, social, and program objectives established by the High School Learning Center.
The High School Learning Center was developed by the Corning-Painted Post Area School District, in collaboration with Corning Community College and representatives of the Corning-Painted Post business community to incorporate paid student employment in the community. It offers a rigorous alternative approach to academics that supports students in the following objectives: to earn a Regents High School Diploma; to develop a plan for the future; to develop skills to make that plan a reality; to make healthy personal choices; and to have a commitment to the community where they live.
