History
[edit]Hodayot was founded in May 1950 on the early site of Kibbutz Lavi, which moved half a kilometer eastward. It has 211 students, many of them of Ethiopian origin.[2]
One of the special tracks offered by the high school is a police studies program, with classes in criminology, sociology and crime-solving.[3] The school also has a life sciences and agriculture track. Medicinal herbs are grown in the school's greenhouses, based on the teachings of Maimonides, and the students experiment with various composting techniques.
