This week is ‘American Education Week’ and to celebrate that Muscatine Community School District (MCSD) just debuted a video highlighting Susan Clark Junior High and the history behind the name. American Education Week presents everyone with an opportunity to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every student receives a quality education.
MCSD had planned on hosting a ribbon cutting event at Susan Clark Junior High but had to delay it due to rising COVID numbers.
The video features contributions from:
- La Nisha Cassell, Executive Director African American Museum in Cedar Rapids
- Russell Lovell, Professor Emeritus of Law at Drake University
- Adrien Wing, Associate Dean for International and Comparative Law Programs and the Bessie Dutton Murray Professor at the University of Iowa College of Law
