The District’s Thurgood Marshall Academy has been nationally recognized for its success closing the achievement gap among boys of color.
The Coalition of Schools Educating Boys of Color (COSEBOC) announced during its annual meeting on April 26 in Chicago, that the Southeast D.C. academy — which will also receive a $10,000 grant — is one of its five award schools.
“Identifying schools that have developed effective, creative and sustainable approaches and sharing those successes with other educators is the cornerstone of the work we do at COSEBOC,” said Ron Walker, COSEBOC executive director. “The COSEBOC School Awards are proof and evidence of the fact that there are educational environments that work extremely well for boys and young men of color.”
