    This has me in tears! Oh, the opportunity college affords, and for free. I had a former student who went to Howard University on the Gates Scholarship and also was able to do an international study in S.Africa. I am elated for these students and their families for such a life changing and meaningful reward for hard work! All the best! Great job APS, this is what shouldve been all over the news with the media!!!!

    I just want to say that I am a teacher at Maynard Jackson High School and I am so proud of Alex and all of his accomplishments. He works so hard, this young man will be going places.

    I had the pleasure of teaching Maya Knight during her middle school years and have been able to keep in touch with her throughout her high school years. I am proud and elated by her achievement. She is a testimony to the success that hardwork brings.
