In their own words

"The overwhelming stories my students have told about hardship and personal loss, related from the honest, direct perspective of six and seven year-olds, have made it clear to me that coming to teach in New Orleans is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made."

- Maya McLaughlin ('05)
