Graduates, You May Turn Your Tassels

The National Academy Foundation High School-Baltimore will enhance to its record of excellence when 93 seniors graduate on Friday. That’s 97% of the school’s graduating class; pretty exceptional for a city school, and proof that an NAF education works.

NAF combines a traditional classroom education with a work-based learning curriculum in the fields of hospitality and tourism, finance, and information technology to prepare students for careers in their chosen field. Students get real work experience, such as catering events for dignitaries including Mayor Sheila Dixon and Governor Martin O’Malley, operating Baltimore’s first student-run credit union; and having internships at the region’s leading technology firms.

Good luck to the graduating class of 2009!
