With PXU City, @PhoenixUnion students build their own high school, choosing from 500 classes, internships, and programs. PXU launched the initiative under CFC board member @ChadGestson. See @Beth_Hawkins' story in @The74 coverage of innovative high schools. https://t.co/Cpl6RuDZkm

After 22 years in the system - 8 years as principal and 8 years as Superintendent of PXU - I am stepping out of the system to work more aggressively and unapologetically on the system. Thank you students, educators, leaders, supporters. For everything.
