Over the last FIVE years

Katia is a quiet student with a beautiful smile and abundant determination. She started in the Street School’s high school program when she lived near Winston-Salem but then had to move to Concord, North Carolina. Katia and the adult program staff set up an arrangement where she could take schoolwork home and then drive weekly back to Winston-Salem to take exams.

Her resilience has helped her accomplish the goal of getting her high school diploma while working and also preparing to become a mother. Katia’s story is a good example of the flexibility within the Street School’s program, where staff and students work together to find a path to success. We have no doubt that Katia’s future is bright!
