High Schoolers Making News
More great student news!
- Maya Peart-Hill, Class of 2012, has been “selected to participate in “Expanding the Walls Program,” a unique [seven month] program for teens that uses photography as a medium to explore community, identity and history, at the Studio Museum of Harlem. It was quite a rigorous selection process that required her to undergo two interviews [and secure three recommendations!]“.
