Millennium Network Inspiring Change in Detroit Schools

by Debbie Howard on September 3, 2010

The William J. Clinton Foundation Millennium Network was created to get people under the age of 45 involved in the work of the Clinton Foundation. The network focuses on many issues such as fighting climate change, furthering sustainable development, combating the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States and promoting economic development worldwide.

President Clinton spoke at an event in Chicago last year and when Randall Sampson of EdWorks, a subsidiary of KnowledgeWorks, heard the president’s message, he was inspired to look for solutions to problems in education.

Since then, EdWorks has been partnering with Central High School, Detroit’s oldest high school, under the leadership of Principal McGhee, to change the approach to traditional education by empowering teachers and students to lead the high school transformation effort

Learn more about the transformation efforts in Detroit and the work being done by the Millennium Network.
