[quote=Anonymous]Just received this. The phase "of color" seems to have mysteriously vanished. I'm the mother of two boys, but I gotta repeat what was said on this board when this idea was first floated...what about the girls? Why aren't they opening up a college prep school at the same time for just girls? I'll be curious to see how this all plays out. Also repeating something that's been said before...starting this at the high school level is just too darn late. By then, many of these boys are YEARS behind...not a semester or two. How can this school possibly be college prep?

DCPS Stakeholder,

In the DCPS Today newsletter distributed earlier today, Chancellor Henderson provided an update around exciting new programs coming to DCPS next year. One of these updates is that a new Empowering Males High School (EMHS) will open East of the River in Fall 2016.  The EMHS, an all-male, college preparatory high school to be located at the former Ron Brown Middle School in Ward 7, will expand academic opportunities for young men in DC and ensure they graduate ready for college and career.

In the attached letter we have shared additional information about the school and the new school leadership– text from the letter can also be found below. Thank you and please pass this along to your  respective networks!
