Remembering the Why...
Do you remember why you chose education, or better yet, why education chose you? Think back to that initial excitement and desire to change the world. Remember the vow you made to make a difference in the lives of your students? All of them?
We know that our KB Polk scholars deserve our best each and every day and that is what we will give them.
