In the decade since I’ve left your hallways, I graduated high school with a 4.39 GPA, earned a full scholarship for college, was named the top student-athlete in both high school and undergrad, won the Dean’s Award for the school of engineering and technology at Hampton University, was accepted into my dream grad school (University of Southern California), earned a master’s degree, and locked up my first real job as an electrical/aerospace engineer. I CANNOT stress enough, when I say the foundation you provided for me from the 1st-8th grades played a large role in how I was able to make it…
