For decades, students have enjoyed reading “The Giver,” set in Lois Lowry’s aspiring Utopian society. In Gainesville High School’s Ninth Grade Center, students are challenged with not only reading about a fictional world, but creating one of their own. The Ninth Grade Center features a Makerspace, or a multipurpose room for students to try their hands at endless creative projects.
