Earlier this week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan visited with students at DC’s Thurgood Marshall Academy Charter School, one of the highest-achieving public schools in the district. In all four of the school’s graduating classes, EVERY SINGLE student has gone on to college. Duncan (pictured above) visited a workshop for TMA’s 59 seniors and their parents on writing applications for college scholarships. For more information on this impressive school, click here. Special thanks to TMA board member Rick Roe and his main squeeze Dianne Piche (a DFER board member) for sending the pics along.
