STEM Star Nichole Anderson Joins CA Milken Educators

 

 

Keric Ashley, deputy superintendent for the District, School, and Innovation Branch of the California Department of Education, commends students and staff on the school's "Leader In Me" status. The program develops student leadership skills starting as early as kindergarten and plays a central role in Hamilton's school culture. "It's important that you do well in school and on tests," says Ashley. "But the Leader in Me [program] is most important because we need to learn to get along with each other."

Then, changing direction, Deputy Superintendent Ashley introduces a special guest—someone with an important secret to share with the assembly.
