"A Panel Discussion on High School Success and Optimum College Placement: Academic & Social Consideration" will have three speakers whose lives and careers are dedicated to sharing the knowledge of educational success. Miguel Brito, Dr. John Chuback and Malvina Peckerman will speak and be available to field questions from the audience.
