and tools needed to overcome obstacles to success,” Boys & Girls Clubs Director of Operations William Walker said. “We want to provide every opportunity to the youth in our area to understand the paths available to them and inspire them to dream big.”

assistant principal before becoming the principal at her alma mater.
