Hello from New York City! My students live in one of the most richly diverse communities in the city. They come from a variety of backgrounds, and bring their incredible stories to the classroom every day. They are a deserving bunch of young people who are at a crucial point in their education. The statistics say that many of them will not attend college, but we seek to prove these statistics wrong by challenging them and providing the kind of quality education that every child deserves, regardless of their zip code.
