The John Muir Geotourism Center (JMGC) is pleased to announce that a partnership for exploration toward the improvement of student services is being established with Mariposa County Unified School District (MCUSD), with the addition of Mr. Doug Jensen, a highly qualified administrator to Coulterville High School (CHS). Mr. Jensen is working in coordination with the JMGC in developing an “Environmental Outdoor Education Program,” one of the JMGC’s strategic goals.

Mr. Jensen has vast experience with the administration of outdoor education programs. The JMGC, in collaboration with numerous community citizens and officials from the Foothills and Greeley Hill area, is working closely with officials from MCUSD including Superintendent Robin Hopper, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Jon Corippo, and Ron Henderson, Principal of Lake Don Pedro Elementary School and CHS.

Information on program development can be found on the new CHS web site, which can be accessed through both the John Muir Web at: www.johnmuir.us and the MCUSD web site at: www.mariposa.k12.ca.us.
