Student, Recent Grads
To discuss their public school experiences in DC — what worked, what didn’t, what they would do differently, and what they would like the adults in charge to do:
DaVon Fuller is a DC native and student-athlete graduated from Dunbar HS and just graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, with a BA in sociology and a minor in political science.
Tallya Rhode, Woodson HS ’18, is a former State Board of Education Student Representative and headed for Concord University, where she plans to study athletic training.
