Union City

If a school district such as Union City with limited resources transform its program, improve test scores, and become a model school for the nation, we can really take WSD to the next level.

I was impressed with the positive attitude of both teachers and studnets. They were willing to break down the walls of the traditional classroom, and create a school centered on the student by implementing technology.
