Opportunity Restored: Supporting Kids to Unleash Their Potential in the 9th Grade

Kevin Gallick • Cahn Fellow 2018

Over the past seven years Washington High School has experienced a transformation in school culture and academic achievement; however, not all Washington students have benefited equally from the school’s improvements and we aspire to be more. While we are committed to supporting all students to achieve, the focus of our project is explicitly on our Latinx Boys, Black Boys, and Black Girls. Our project is focused primarily on providing a space to share and cultivate new ideas and practices, while at the same time growing in our capacity to lead for equity.
