School with No Windows: Through My Lens

School with No Windows is a story of a principal’s unyielding commitment to children. This recollection of events is told through the eyes of a common man who has never stepped in a classroom or dealt with the ongoing educational demands and needs of our youth—especially our lowest performers. School with No Windows recounts the realignment of students, teachers, and community with a commitment of restoring a Jacksonville, Florida, elementary school. In this brief retelling, Edward Gaston, a community development professional, shares his view of the transformation through a clear lens.
