We're reimagining the high school experience in DC. The Advanced Technical Center helps keep kids engaged, hopeful, and focused on their futures. Today, we celebrated the brand-new ATC in Ward 8, located close to families and students who want to use it.

Everyone loves a happy ending. This is the actual drone video of Bartlett Officers and Bartlett, TN Fire Department locating and recovering a missing child from a storm drain this morning. Awesome job by our teams and we are so happy the child was safe.
