Ed Extra: Skipper's Three-Hour Tour

Longfellow

For the nearly 800 students at TechBoston Academy, it was the opportunity of a lifetime: President Barack Obama chose to visit their school as part of his recent trip to the Bay State. Headmaster Mary Skipper, Ed.M.’06, gave Obama a three-hour tour, with several Ed School student interns in tow. While visiting classrooms, the president shook hands and asked students what they hoped to study in college. Later, during a speech in the auditorium, Obama touted the school’s turnaround academic success and highly praised Skipper, whom he said was doing “unbelievable work.”
