The Doc
Dennis “Doc” Littky has spent a lifetime working to transform education. He is one of the leading innovators in America and arguably the biggest change agent in education in America. He either single-handedly or with others co-founded The Big Picture - a network of high schools across the country, The Met School and now an accredited college College Unbound.
His work as a principal at Thayer Junior/Senior High School in Winchester, N.H. was featured in an NBC movie, A Town Torn Apart based on the book Doc: The Story of Dennis Littky and His Fight for a Better School.
