PA - 1 - Mr. Thomas-El grew up without a father in the home, one of eight kids born to a poor inner-city Philadelphia mom. He struggled with his own poverty, as well as the neighborhood's negative attitude towards education. He persisted though, and overcame, returning to his home town to teach middle-school students. Now he is the principal, but still tries to spend time in the classroom, working directly with kids. He constantly drives home the message that hard work, preparation and lofty goals deliver results.
