My students are the brightest of the bright at a high school that has performed at the bottom of the list of DC high schools for the past 20 years. My students are the success stories among the staggering statistics of of high school dropouts at their school. I have had the honor of teaching many of these students when they were in my 10th grade honors English class and I am now privileged enough to teach them their senior year in Advanced Placement Literature and Composition. They are so very excited to take on the task of a college level course and I'm thrilled to have such a motivated group of students!
