Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Principal Alison Hanks-Sloan at the International High School at Largo.
As a high school teacher in Prince George’s County, Alison Hanks-Sloan became attached to her growing numbers of international students –but she was crushed when a large number of them dropped out before receiving their diploma. Now, Hanks-Sloan is a principal at a high school in Largo that is solely dedicated to keeping international kids in school. Though her school shares space with a traditional high school, everything from their hours to their grading structure differs from the norm. Kojo visits Hanks-Sloan at her school to learn more.
