@sophiabush : I’m a story-teller. An activist. And a theater lover. Education is my passion. I fundamentally believe we need to transform our high schools so they work for ALL young people – no matter their race, gender or zip code. I’m excited to be on the host committee of XQ Super School Live with @ava & @rafaelcasal. It’s a new one-of-a-kind, immersive storytelling tour to inspire people to reimagine high schools in their community from @XQAmerica and @Pop-Up Magazine. It’s going to be a night of high school drama full of stories, selfie confessionals, viral gratitude, and multimedia adventures that celebrate the everyday heroes transforming America's high schools!

Proceeds from ticket sales benefit local non-profit organizations. • And here’s some data (my favorite thing) to illustrate what our education issue looks like. We can do better. We can offer better to our students! . While two-thirds of high school graduates go on to college, 52% of those in 2-year colleges and 20% of those in 4-year colleges must take remedial courses for knowledge and skills they should have gotten in high school. The bottom line, as a nation $1 BILLION every year on remedial courses. . One in six 9th graders drops out before graduating . 47% of seniors don’t complete the courses they need to be college- and/or career ready. . At graduation, only 46% of seniors are ready for college-level reading, just 40% are ready in math.
