Obama is going to Memphis!

A Memphis public school, Booker T Washington High, won the Race to the Top, and the president is going to deliver their commencement address.


Obama’s speech marks Booker T. Washington as the winner of the Race to the Top Commencement Challenge. The challenge was an invitation for public high schools to demonstrate how they best prepare students for college and a career and how they are achieving the Obama administration’s education goals.

Among the president’s goals is the U.S. having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020.

Booker T. Washington High School’s graduation rate went from 55 percent in 2007 to 81.6 percent in 2010.

Booker T. Washington was the first public high school for black students in Memphis.
