When West High School Senior Sultan Abdul Aziz walks into school, his first stop is a temperature station in the front lobby. On his way to class in hallways divided by blue tape for social distancing, staff greet him like an old friend.
Abdul Aziz’ nickname to some is “The Mayor.” He’s conversational in so many languages - Sindhi, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic - that he can joke around with students from all over the world.

Abdul Aziz’ family immigrated to Manchester from the United Arab Emirates five years ago, and he credits the city’s school for helping him overcome his shyness and feel like he belonged.
