Park Center Senior High Video Shows Ways to Decrease Racial Disparities

As a means for presenting information to visiting Minnesota State Legislators, a handful of Park Center Senior High students and staff collaborated to create this video that demonstrates ways that Park Center has increased the the graduation rate of black students to the highest degree of any high school with a population of over 50 students in the State. Credit is owed partially to compensatory and achievement and integeration funding passed by the State Legislature. I am proud to be a member of the community responsible for this decrease in racial disparities as well as part of the team to produce this video. The student involvement in the creation of this video was enormous. Students in the International Baccalaureate Film class and the TV Production class spent many hours filming and editing, under the guidance of teachers and school administrators.
