I teach History and AVID at an inner city career and technical high school in Portland, OR. My classroom is made up of a diverse student body with students traveling all over the city to attend our polytechnic school. My students are resilient, motivated, and engaged in their education and they deserve equitable resources to better support them through their high school journey.
