Every Urban Prep senior is college-bound

This is fabulous.I think every public high school in the nation needs to not only have this article posted but have each teacher and adminitrator read it aloud daily and realize that it can be done.As a board member for a rural South carolina School district it lets me know that there are teachers out there that can get the best out of students no matter where they come from.I feel that all middle and High Schools should have creeds to start their day and allow students to be a part of the creation of the creed. I was really proud of the young men that were on CNN last evening and I watched them say their creed and could tell that the committment was there. Keep up the good work.

This is an article that every administrator and teacher should read daily to start their day.These are not rich kids or kids that have it made, these are kids that are just like the ones in our public schools with issues and other problems.This is called in my opinion, REAL Thinking outside the BOX.Real committment for Every graduating student to be accepted into a 4year college or university says something major.I'm spreading this like wildfire…..

University brings those things together.
