Quotes

"The Milken Award has had a positive impact on my students, my former students and the community as a whole. We’re on the south side of Tucson, and a lot of people in town have preconceived notions about what it means to be from Desert View, based on what they’ve heard in the media or from other people. This Award gives Desert View students something to brag about. We’re doing a lot of good things at our school and people need to know about them."
