Last week, our scholars (and chaperones) went to the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse! This was a learning experience that was attended by student council representatives from each New York High School campus. Scholars had a great time watching real lawyers and judges at work!

Teachers are the backbone of Democracy Prep Public Schools, bringing with them unique perspectives and experiences to classrooms. Their diverse backgrounds is one of their major strengths, and we couldn’t be more proud of their contributions to our community.
