On July 7, I along with Mayor Fenty and numerous community members will formal close the aging facility that houses the Ward's only traditional public high school.

An unprecedented investment, $99 million, dedicated to building a state of the art public high school in Ward 7. Come celebrate the groundbreaking of the New H.D.
