Congratulations to Hialeah High

I’ve been M.I.A. for the past week thanks to MIT’s Campus Preview Weekend. I was chosen to give the student speech at the Minority Parents Reception and preparing for that consumed my thoughts for about four days (it went really well though!). So my apologies for being completely out of action.
However, as part of Campus Preview Weekend, I had the honor of hosting two amazing high school seniors from Hialeah High. I couldn’t be happier with the progress that school has made. These two girls informed me that Hialeah totally ROCKED college admissions this year. Students were accepted into MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, UPenn and Dartmouth, to name a few schools. In fact, 25% of Dartmouth’s south Florida admits are graduating from Hialeah High.
Truly phenomenal results. Congratulations to Hialeah High y “la ciudad que progresa.”
