I worked at Leadership High School in San Francisco for 12 years as an English teacher, social studies teacher, and adviser. It’s a great place.
Please check out “Royal.” It’s high quality — and went mildly viral a couple weeks ago when it was picked up by Colorlines.

LHS is also where every single ninth grader is receiving a Kindle this year. Librarian Michele Godwin, English teacher Kathleen Large, and instructional coach Anne Nyffeler have built a strong culture of reading, and the ninth grade advisers are enthusiastic and dedicated advocates of reading. Can’t wait to see where we go!
