==Technology==
At Enloe, 100% of instructional classrooms have reliable connections to Internet resources. In addition to full-campus technological connectivity, Enloe provides nearly one computer console terminal for every two students, compared with the state average of more than three students per terminal. Made possible through various private, corporate, local, state, and federal grants, Enloe's facilities provide three open-access computer labs for use by students and classes, several "mobile labs" consisting of two dozen laptops, and an additional half-dozen labs devoted to specific courses and subject areas. Specialized computer labs are provided for classes taught in several subject areas, including [[computer science]], drafting, and [[graphic arts]].

==History==
Enloe High School was originally organized as two different schools that shared athletic facilities between adjacent campuses — William G. Enloe Senior High and [[Charles Brantley Aycock|Charles B. Aycock]] Junior High. The original Enloe campus was opened in 1962 as the first [[desegregation|integrated]] secondary school in Raleigh for the education of students participating in grades seven through twelve.

Three years after Enloe opened its doors, Aycock was created on an adjacent campus as a [[junior high school]] to educate students in the seventh through ninth grades, and Enloe became a [[senior high school]] with concentrated education for grades ten through twelve. Enloe absorbed the Aycock campus in 1979, becoming a modern [[high school]] focused on educating ninth through twelfth grade students. The Aycock building became the ''East Campus'', while the original Enloe complex became the ''West Campus''.<ref name="EHSSH">{{cite web | title=Enloe High School School History | url=http://enloehs.wcpss.net/info/history.php | accessdaymonth=25 July | accessyear=2006 }}</ref>

In 2006, Enloe finished the construction of a new building adjacent to the West Campus and consequently closed the 50-year old, outdated East Campus for renovation.<ref name="NEWWEST">{{cite web | title=Fate of East Building Still in Flux | url=http://enloehs.wcpss.net/eagleseye/2006_2007/oct_2006.pdf | accessdaymonth=21 November | accessyear=2007}}</ref> Almost all the classes have migrated from the East Campus to the new building, reducing the need to share classes with its larger capacity. It's expected that the East Campus will, after renovation, retain the autoshop and the audio-visual classrooms among others.<ref name="NEWWEST"/> The East Campus has now been reopened as of [[January 22]], [[2008]], the start of the second semester. It has the autotech classes, audio-visual classes, the new East Gym, Student Services and Freshmen Seminar classrooms. The next stage of Enloe's renovation calls for the gym in the West Building to be converted to house the audio-visual classrooms and the current audio-visual classrooms located in the East Building will be converted into a weight room to replace the one in the West Gym.

In 1980, Enloe began providing [[Magnet school|magnet courses]] for "gifted and talented" students in [[Wake County, North Carolina|Wake County]]. The school was promoted to full magnet status in 1982. The "magnet" designation means that Enloe offers many courses that other Wake County schools do not, and provides services to its students that are not available to them at their "base" schools. At Enloe, like many magnet schools, the majority of the student body uses publicly provided transportation to shuttle them to school, though Enloe retains its own "base" population.

==Evangelist controversy==


In February, [[2007]], the school came under fire from Muslim advocacy groups and the ACLU after history teacher Robert Escamilla invited Kamil Solomon, a [[Copt]]ic Christian evangelist and head of Kamil International Ministries, to speak about his experiences with Christianity and Muslims. The [[Council on American Islamic Relations]] and parents of Muslim and secular students accused the school of breaching federal civil rights laws and promoting hate in a public school.<ref>{{cite web

Escamilla was suspended with pay for 90 days while the school district investigated the complaint. He was later transferred to an alternative school and reprimanded by Superintendent Del Burns. In addition, Burns apologized to Muslims for Solomon's visit. And he issued new guidelines that require guest speakers to sign forms saying they will not denigrate any culture, race, gender, national origin or religion. Escamilla appealed the punishment, but the grievance was rejected by the school board.[http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/739479.html] In a controversial move, the school board voted to release part of Escamilla's confidential personnel file to justify its decision.[http://www.newsobserver.com/politics/story/742225.html] Escamilla has filed a lawsuit asking to be transferred back to Enloe.[http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/776507.html] Escamilla and the school district reached a settlement in which Wake agreed not to punish him any further over the evangelist controversy.[http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/1030288.html]

Hello, thanks so much for the concern and the helpful resource! I'm pretty sure my teacher is aware the difficulty of the assignment, but he knows we are up for the challenge. Yes, I am still looking for assistance, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could help me in any way!

The William G. Enloe GT/IB Center for Humanities, Sciences, and Arts (Enloe High School) is a Wake County public magnet high school located in east Raleigh, North Carolina. The school is named for William Gillmore Enloe, the mayor of Raleigh at the time the school was opened. Enloe consistently ranks in the top 100 high schools in the U.S. according to Newsweek magazine's annual rankings.[1]

Demographics

Enloe has approximately 2,600 enrolled students.[2] Of this large population, 12% are of Asian descent — the largest population of students with Asian ancestries found in any school in Wake County. The remainder of Enloe's student population is composed of students with ancestries of European (51%), African (35%), and Hispanic (2%) descent.

There are 148 members of the Enloe teaching staff, and many support personnel employed in administration, guidance and similar positions.[3] Enloe prides itself on a skilled and accredited faculty, of which 25 members are nationally certified by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and 39% possess an advanced degree (Masters or Ph.D.) in their respective fields.[4]

Technology

At Enloe, 100% of instructional classrooms have reliable connections to Internet resources. In addition to full-campus technological connectivity, Enloe provides nearly one computer console terminal for every two students, compared with the state average of more than three students per terminal. Made possible through various private, corporate, local, state, and federal grants, Enloe's facilities provide three open-access computer labs for use by students and classes, several "mobile labs" consisting of two dozen laptops, and an additional half-dozen labs devoted to specific courses and subject areas. Specialized computer labs are provided for classes taught in several subject areas, including computer science, drafting, and graphic arts.

In 2007, three Enloe students, Vivek Bhattacharya, Hao Lian, and Daniel Vitek, placed second nationally in the Siemens Competition for their work on a computer model of gene sequencing.[5]

They also have an award winning television program that wins numerous National Academy Television Student Awards for the Nashville Midsouth Chapter,[3] most recently winning a NSTAE for a food drive promotion.

History

Enloe High School was originally organized as two different schools that shared athletic facilities between adjacent campuses — William G. Enloe Senior High and Charles B. Aycock Junior High. The original Enloe campus was opened in 1962 as the first integrated secondary school in Raleigh for the education of students participating in grades seven through twelve.

Three years after Enloe opened its doors, Aycock was created on an adjacent campus as a junior high school to educate students in the seventh through ninth grades, and Enloe became a senior high school with concentrated education for grades ten through twelve. Enloe absorbed the Aycock campus in 1979, becoming a modern high school focused on educating ninth through twelfth grade students. The Aycock building became the East Campus, while the original Enloe complex became the West Campus.[6]

In 2006, Enloe finished the construction of a new building adjacent to the West Campus and consequently closed the 50-year old, outdated East Campus for renovation.[7] Almost all the classes have migrated from the East Campus to the new building, reducing the need to share classes with its larger capacity. It's expected that the East Campus will, after renovation, retain the autoshop and the audio-visual classrooms among others.[7] The East Campus has now been reopened as of January 22, 2008, the start of the second semester. It has the autotech classes, audio-visual classes, the new East Gym, Student Services and Freshmen Seminar classrooms. The next stage of Enloe's renovation calls for the gym in the West Building to be converted to house the audio-visual classrooms and the current audio-visual classrooms located in the East Building will be converted into a weight room to replace the one in the West Gym.

In 1980, Enloe began providing magnet courses for "gifted and talented" students in Wake County. The school was promoted to full magnet status in 1982. The "magnet" designation means that Enloe offers many courses that other Wake County schools do not, and provides services to its students that are not available to them at their "base" schools. At Enloe, like many magnet schools, the majority of the student body uses publicly provided transportation to shuttle them to school, though Enloe retains its own "base" population.

In July 1997, Enloe became an IB World School, allowing students to pursue the challenging International Baccalaureate Programme. Enloe IB students are occasionally invited to attend special events or trips through their involvement in the IB Programme. In the recent past, Enloe IB students have participated in exchanges with high schools in China (2004-2005)[8] and Germany (2005-2006), and have begun a relationship with students at a high school in Turkey though the use of video conferencing technology.[9]

Enloe currently offers 28 AP courses in addition to several IB courses.[10]

Ranking in Newsweeks' Top School List

Enloe consistently ranks in the top 100 high schools in the U.S. according to Newsweek magazine's annual rankings:[1]

Evangelist controversy

In February, 2007, the school came under fire from Muslim advocacy groups and the ACLU after history teacher Robert Escamilla invited Kamil Solomon, a Coptic Christian evangelist and head of Kamil International Ministries, to speak about his experiences with Christianity and Muslims. The Council on American Islamic Relations and parents of Muslim and secular students accused the school of breaching federal civil rights laws and promoting hate in a public school.[11] Escamilla was suspended with pay for 90 days while the school district investigated the complaint. He was later transferred to an alternative school and reprimanded by Superintendent Del Burns. In addition, Burns apologized to Muslims for Solomon's visit. And he issued new guidelines that require guest speakers to sign forms saying they will not denigrate any culture, race, gender, national origin or religion. Escamilla appealed the punishment, but the grievance was rejected by the school board.[1] In a controversial move, the school board voted to release part of Escamilla's confidential personnel file to justify its decision.[2] Escamilla has filed a lawsuit asking to be transferred back to Enloe.[3] Escamilla and the school district reached a settlement in which Wake agreed not to punish him any further over the evangelist controversy.[4]
