“What you guys are doing here is sending a message across the country that you can do anything you set out to accomplish,’’ the president told the screaming high schoolers.The president picked Central as a model for failing schools to look up to, and flew down to Miami on a typically sunny March afternoon to deliver his message on how schools nationwide should be improved: Just follow the Central model.
Among the students who were selected to greet the president: teens who had made the honor roll, those with perfect attendance, and the school’s state championship winning football team.
“This gives me so much hope,’’ said 17-year-old Zakiya Willies. “It inspires me to always do my best.’’Guests also included Miami-Dade School Board members, state Education Commissioner Eric Smith, state Board of Education member Roberto Martinez and U.S. Representatives Frederica Wilson and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz."
