MEMPHIS, TN
Memphis has been in the focus with the river stage flooding..now also it's been officially announced and confirmed from Washington, D.C. that one of the Memphis City Schools will be having President Obama serve as guest speaker at their commencent exercise!! Booker T. Washington was selected as the winner in the Race to the Top Commencement Challenge Contest. Their video was selected from the top six schools from different parts of the country. The news came with a telephone call to the school from Vice President Biden notifying the Principal Alisha Kiner with the delighted news.
