The Spotlight Shines Bright on a Washington High School 11th Grader also Enrolled at GSU

Liza Wemakor is a Junior at Booker T. Washington High School-Early College and the leader of her class.


This week as the Atlanta Public Schools take a week-long Spring Break, Cascade Patch wants to commend a standout student at Washington High School who was put into the spotlight by the TalkUp APS Blog.

According to the APS Blog, Liza is only a high school junior and she is already dually enrolled at Georgia State University.  Washington High teachers say, "Liza has held the highest ranks at her high school for three consecutive years," and she is known for her eloquence and poise.

”At this point in life, I imagine excelling in college and furthering my ability to do what I have always loved—writing. If we follow our own definitions of greatness rather than allowing others to define it for us, we become unstoppable forces. There is no doubt that the Early College program has made me even more unstoppable.”
