Charter School Offers Promise for Latino Students
The Kansas City Star
In her four years at Kansas City's Alta Vista Charter School, Yesenia Aguirre is ready to become the first in her family to go to college. Like many of her Latino peers, Aguirre and her family face social, cultural, and language barriers. Nevertheless, the staff members at Alta Vista believe that with the right tools and support, their students can not only graduate from high school but also succeed in college.
I just discovered your wonderful website and all the great articles, which I would like to share with my school districts in Wisconsin.
