HMHP

Due to the limited service life of high pressure sodium lamps, HMHP was forced to regularly replace failed lamps.

Virtually maintenance-free while offering an expected service life of more than 20 years, the luminaires are expected to save HMHP about $8,400 in annual maintenance costs.

Fewer HMHP graduates may enroll in college because they lack some of the cultural capital variables many middle- and high-income students possess.

Some contemporary research indicates that HMHP graduates have limited access to educational resources and hence lack capital.

In this study, we use "funds of knowledge" to conceptualize the approach by HMHP students in pursuit of higher education.

This study particularly highlights the community cultural wealth students use to achieve success against challenging odds within a HMHP school context.

Research Question 1: How do graduates of HMHP high schools in an urban Texas area make meaning of their path to postsecondary education?

Research Question 3: What academic and social challenges do students at HMHP schools face regarding their academic self-image as they access college?

The second stage of the study included phenomenological in-depth qualitative focus group interviews of HMHP graduates enrolled in higher education (see Table 1 for a description of participants and their former schools).

This study employed a phenomenological approach (Moustakas, 1994) to describe how graduates made meaning of their lived experience attending a HMHP school and accessing forms of capital to reach college (Creswell, 1998).

HMHP has been presciently responsible in their long-standing, system-wide policies such as regular maintenance plans and a smoking prohibition in all building or grounds.

Strollo Architects identified natural elements and LEED requirements as two separate yet parallel philosophies, successfully bringing them together to create an instinctively appealing design that balances practical function with HMHP's overarching commitment to good health.
