High School Students Work for Their Education
posted 5:21 pm Mon August 13, 2007 - Silver Spring, MD
The new Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School in Takoma Park opens in a couple weeks. The school, part of the Washington Catholic Archdiocese, offers classes four days a week. Students will spend the fifth day working for a business. The students' pay will cover most of their tuition.
The format has been successful in other area, focusing on getting bright students from low-income areas into colleges, and making sure they're successful.
