A new program aimed at helping more Black students graduate from high school in Minneapolis will start on Monday. We try to figure out the best way to scoop them up and get them over the finish line, said Nafeesah Muhammad, an English teacher at Henry High School in Minneapolis.
She s on a mission to help seniors who didn t graduate with their 2021 classmates this year. It was roughly 230 Black students, if not more, that did not graduate this year, she said.
With educator and activist colleagues, this teacher launched an alternative to traditional summer school called We Win When Black Students Graduate.
