An Interview with a Detroit High School Principal

Esther Allweiss Ingber:

Mumford High principal Linda Spight, recently selected for a MetLife Foundation Ambassadors in Education Award, oversees her school's engagement with the surrounding Wyoming-7 Mile neighborhood.

She and winning public school principals in 25 cities will each receive a $5,000 grant toward a joint project with community partners.

"The MetLife award acknowledges the importance of having a good relationship with a community and working collaboratively," said Spight, 59, of Detroit, leader of Mumford's 2,100 students. "Things should improve when you're on the same page."
