Celebrating a journey that began six years ago at Democracy Prep as a Dean with a small group of sixth graders who are now poised to graduate high school and embark on their college journeys. Today, I had the honor of attending their senior signing day event, witnessing their joy as they announced the colleges they will be attending in the fall. These moments reinforce my dedication and commitment to this important work. Congratulations to the Class of 2024 at Democracy Prep Harlem High School! 🎓 #ClassOf2024 #DemocracyPrep #DemocracyPrepHarlemHigh
