“I’m happy because we feel heard and I was very interested when I first heard of it,” says East Side High School junior Jazlyn Fabre-Hidalgo.
“There are issues in the community that we do want to be able to have solved, but in order to do that, you have to be the person to step up and take that voice,” says Science Park High School senior Devin Mitchell.
