DCPS High School Students....

[Anonymous]

Two Woodson scholar-athletes in basketball (undefeated season and nationally ranked #8) were offered scholarships to play and attend Georgetown University. An Eastern High Student, is in California, one of the finalist for the nation-wide Google icon contest...she beat out other high-school students throughout the nation. Lastly, an Eastern student is a winner of the GWU scholarship and she's an IB candidate too.

I know, but DCPS doesn't really advertise it; on here all you hear is doom and gloom, so I'm happy to see a little sunshine.

Sure they do. Akilah Johnson's winning google doodle is featured on the dcps twitter page. see: https://twitter.com/dcpublicschools?ref_src=twsrc^tfw Unfortunately, people like you will continue to lay false claims that DCPS doesn't do, despite facts to the contrary.

It is also their cover page in FB. They have also advertised and praised GWU winners.
