John Carney. “A school is so much more than bricks and mortar -- It’s a pillar of a community. To the educators who show up day in and day out for their students, you deserve this. We’re grateful for all our partners, including the members of the General Assembly, who helped us get this done for our children. And I’m honored to be a part of a project that recognizes Maurice Pritchett’s legacy in the city.”
