The curriculum and teachers were responsible for raising graduation rates to 93% for Hispanic students and placed Hispanic students at the top on the same achievement tests where they had previously failed. A documentary entitled Precious Knowledge was developed to capture the events surrounding the banning of this curriculum in Arizona when it was viewed as a threat. Previews to the documentary are available at pbs.org/independentlens/precious-knowledge/ We hope you will join us for the community forum and dialog with Dr. Romero on Monday, March 24 from 6:30 PM to 8 PM, reception following in the lobby.
