Britannica High School Sports New Interface

The new Britannica School High School home page brings forward some features to aid access to content, but it also provides an engaging browse experience. The search box is prominent at the top, so students who are looking for specific information can easily retrieve desired results. A drop-down list of popular searches and recommended articles appear as the search term is entered. The carousel just below the search box provides access to interesting content with nice graphics. Here are some of the browse features that make the site fun and interactive.
