“[Granville had a 100 percent graduation rate for the 2003-2004 school year. Newark had 78.1, while all other county schools exceed 90 percent.

The greatest single education issue we have to deal with is our drop-out rate.”
Dan Montgomery

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Nelson Mandela
