Mount Vernon Today Exclusive

New DC School Chief Kaya Henderson Before making national headlines on the topic of school reform, the new Acting Chancellor of DC Public Schools, Kaya Henderson, was a Mount Vernon girl. Shortly after her November 1 appointment to the position, Henderson gave an exclusive interview to Mount Vernon Today and reflected on her passion for education and what her hometown and the nation must do to be competitive.

Henderson’s personal story makes it clear why she picked a career in education. “Over the course of my growing up, I had a great education in Mount Vernon public school,” she begins. “My parents were able to -- my mother especially -- move out of poverty and solidly into the middle class only because we had a great public education in Mount Vernon.”
