Rooted in Oakland: A Community School Takes Shape

Rooted in Oakland: A Community School Takes Shape

With persistence and imagination, educators, students and community members have led Fremont HS from a school that had been "divorced from the community to one that is now owned by the community." Community School Manager, Carmen Jimenez says that we often "look for power outside to help us, when our biggest supporters are right in front of us."

Rooted in Oakland: A Community School Takes Shape is presented by your local public television station.
