The Race to the Top Commencement Challenge is offering schools and students the chance of a lifetime. We’re asking that public high schools tell us how they’re preparing students for college and a career, and one lucky school will have President Obama as a commencement speaker.
The deadline for the Commencement Challenge has been extended to March 11, 2011, and applying is easy. To be considered for this opportunity, your school just needs to submit three essays and some data about student achievement that should be readily accessible. Visit WhiteHouse.gov/Commencement to get started!
Yesterday, Melody Barnes, Director of the Domestic Policy Council, was on BET’s 106 & Park to discuss the Commencement Challenge. Check out the video on BET.com.
