School Webpages

So I'm supposed to find the website of the school I'm observing. Well, seeing as I'm not in the Ed. program I am not observing a school. So I tried to look for my high school's website, and it was ridiculously hard to find. Cathedral City High School, it shouldn't be that hard. Yet it is. I tried to search it out on a search engine, and I never got the school's main website. It was super annoying/frustrating. I finally found it. The link is: http://schools.psusd.us/cc/index.htm if you want to check it out. The website is kind of ghetto, but I always tell people that I come from the ghetto (maybe now they'll believe me).

I don't like that the site does not have a "home" button. You have to click on the mascot's head to go back to the home page. How is someone supposed to know that? Other than that I thought it was pretty good. They have a lot of information (all legal) and they even have articles from current student activites (i.e. sports). I also thought it was cool that they have the schedules online, so then if there is an altered schedule for the day the students can look it up.

You are right, it wasn't easy to find and it is good practice to have a link back to home on every page. But here is a little trick -- I did a google search for "cathedral city high school" and the 2nd web site that came up was http://schools.psusd.us/cc/athletics.htm I could tell that this was a link off of the main web site so I deleted the cc/athletics.htm and came up with the home page!
