OPEN HOUSE OF THE YEAR
MARCH 8 EVENT WILL INCLUDE TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE CITY’S FOUNDERS
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
MADISON HEIGHTS — The official historical museum for the city of Madison Heights will soon hold its first open house of 2025, allowing guests to enjoy a range of exhibits, with relics dating back to the late 1800s.
“James and the Giant Peach” — based on the Roald Dahl children’s book of the same name — will have three showings, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 13; at 7 p.m. Friday, March 14; and at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 15.
The venue is the auditorium at Hazel Park
This year also marks an important milestone for the city. Madison Heights was incorporated as a city in 1955, which means 2025 is the city’s 70th anniversary. To celebrate, the city will be holding an open house each quarter, and each will focus on different topics.
The first open house will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, March 8, inside the Heritage Rooms in the lower level of Madison Heights City Hall, located at 300 W. 13 Mile Road.
Guests can access the museum from the Madison Heights Public Library, attached next door, or past the doors on the northern entrance to City Hall, across from the police station. An elevator there leads to the lower level.
During the open house, there will be a tribute to the late Bill Huffman, one of the city’s original organizers and past mayors, as well as an exhibit on the neighborhood that once existed where a Meijer now stands.
“It’s very informal — no presentations or anything. Just my-

HAZEL PARK — A major selling point for the Hazel Park Public Schools over the past decade has been the Hazel Park Promise Zone, and officials say it’s still going strong. The program provides eligible students with a tuition-free pathway to an associate degree at Oakland Community College or its equivalent at Michigan public universities. Certified postsecondary credentials at Michigan trade schools are also available.

Promise Zone continues sending Hazel Park graduates to college
Any student who resides in the school district is eligible, which includes the city of Hazel Park as well as parts of Ferndale. Last year, there were 473 students who received funding through the Hazel Park Promise Zone. The average yearly spending on student scholarships through the program has been about $100,000. There are other benefits, as well. The Hazel Park Promise Zone provides its school district with college access advisors and SAT prep. These services are available to all students regardless of
Madison Heights Fire Department announces its Firefighter of the Year
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
MADISON HEIGHTS — Madison Heights officials say that the city’s Firefighter of the Year is emblematic of the Fire Department’s commitment to best practices.
Madison Heights Fire Lt. Damon Brown was selected for the honor. He stood alongside Gregory Lelito, the fire chief, as Lelito made the announcement during the Feb. 10 meeting of the Madison Heights City Council.
“In 2024, Lt. Brown’s tireless work and commitment to excellence have significantly impacted the department, our operations, and the level of care we provide to our community,” Lelito said.
He described Brown’s work leading the training of paramedics on more than 100 revisions to emergency medical service protocol, helping the MHFD to remain “at the forefront of delivering the highest standard of EMS care,” the chief said.
Last June, Brown was also appointed to the Oakland County Medical Control Authority Protocol Committee, where he worked on advancing the state of EMS care across the county.
“He has also played a critical role in implementing our new state-of-the-art heart monitors, ensuring our paramedics are trained and prepared to use them at the most critical times,” Lelito said.
The chief also praised Brown’s dedication to improving himself as a firefighter, attending a specialized course called Great Lakes HOT Fire Training, and then sharing the knowledge and skills he gained with his peers back in Madison Heights.
“Lt. Brown’s support of the administrative functions of our EMS program further underscores his commitment to the department’s goal of delivering extraordinary services,” Lelito said. “He is an inspiration and a leader in action, willing to go above and beyond for the department … setting an example for all to follow.”
Fernando Monge, executive director of the Hazel Park Promise Zone, stands by the sign outside Hazel Park High School Feb. 25. The program he oversees provides college scholarships to all graduates from the Hazel Park Public Schools who live in the district.

self and other members of council, and members of the Huffman family and others, helping guide people through the museum,” said Mark Bliss, mayor pro tem of Madison Heights. “If our residents haven’t been to the Heritage Rooms, this is the perfect opportunity to come. I promise it’s worth it. It’s a family-friendly place, and you can experience it in your own way at your own pace.”
The museum is maintained by the Madison Heights Historical Commission, with Bliss as its council representative, and Sean Fleming as the council alternate. The commission is chaired by former City Councilwoman Margene Scott, who holds the record for most years served on the council. The Heritage Rooms are dedicated in honor
of her and her late husband, Jack Scott.
The rooms include an authentic re-creation of the one-room Kendall School that once stood in the early 1900s, back when Madison Heights was still part of Royal Oak Township. The classroom comes complete with chalk slates at each desk, old-fashioned toys and games, and a 48-star American flag, as well as a research library in an adjacent office.
That library is stocked with yearbooks and other memorabilia from all three school districts — the Madison Schools, Lamphere Schools and Bishop Foley Catholic High — and features a table where one can use a magnifying glass to comb through materials, making connections.
And that’s just the start. An even larger room across the hall is packed with even more items, like a wood-burning stove from

CRIME WATCH
Wallet snatched from purse
MADISON HEIGHTS — Between 10:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. Feb. 9, an unknown suspect reportedly stole a wallet from a purse that a 69-year-old Madison Heights resident had accidentally left in a shopping cart at a store in the 1000 block of West 13 Mile Road.
The victim found the wallet missing from the purse when she returned to the store. While the wallet was later recovered, all of its contents were missing.
Police were investigating.
Window shattered
MADISON HEIGHTS — Around 3:25 a.m. Feb. 8, an unknown suspect threw a piece of cement through the window of a home in the 32000 block of Concord Drive. The victim is a 28-year-old resident of Madison Heights. Investigations were ongoing.
Fraud attempted
MADISON HEIGHTS — An un-
known suspect tried to scam an 85-year-old Clawson resident out of $25,000 by fraudulently posing as a PayPal representative, contacting them in the 1000 block of East 14 Mile Road sometime Feb. 5 or Feb. 6. Police were investigating.
Illegal credit card use
MADISON HEIGHTS — An unknown suspect stole a wallet belonging to a 53-year-old Madison Heights resident in the 32000 block of Stephenson Highway and used credit cards to obtain money from various accounts around 7:50 p.m. Feb. 4. Investigations were ongoing.
If you know more about these crimes or others, call Madison Heights Police at (248) 585-2100.
Wanted woman found
HAZEL PARK — On Feb. 24, a Hazel Park police officer on patrol observed a 2024 Chrysler 300 traveling in front with an expired temporary plate in the window. The officer verified the plate was registered to a Chevrolet Colorado truck and had expired in January.
The officer stopped the vehicle on
northbound I-75 and I-696. The driver claimed she had purchased the vehicle two weeks earlier off Facebook Marketplace and didn’t have valid registration.
It was later found that she was wanted on a felony warrant for assault out of Sterling Heights. She was arrested and turned over to police there.
Officers further inspected the Chevrolet 300 and found the vehicle identification number plate to be fraudulent, locating the true VIN and determining the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Detroit in November 2024.
The investigation was turned over to the auto theft unit for investigation.
Auto thefts attempted
HAZEL PARK — A resident in the 1700 block of East Madge Avenue told police that an unknown suspect attempted to steal their 2017 Kia Forte sometime between Feb. 21 and Feb. 23, gaining access by breaking open the rear window. The suspect was
unable to start the vehicle.
A similar incident occurred between Feb. 22 and Feb. 23 in the 1400 block of East Madge Avenue when an unknown suspect attempted to steal a 2018 Hyundai Elantra, damaging the steering column but failing to start the car.
Police were investigating.
Stolen vehicle found
HAZEL PARK — A Hazel Park officer on patrol found a 2017 Kia Optima parked oddly in the Tim Horton’s lot at Eight Mile and Dequindre Road around 5:30 a.m. Feb. 23.
Upon investigating, the officer found the vehicle was reported stolen out of Warren two hours earlier that morning. The Warren Police Department confirmed the theft, and the vehicle was impounded.

Heritage
from page 4A
the late 1800s, a treadle sewing machine from the early 1900s, dresses and kitchen appliances from the ‘20s through the ‘40s, radios and TVs and typewriters from the ‘50s through the ‘60s, aerial photos showing how the city developed from its earliest years, and election literature and yard signs spanning decades.
There are even exhibits in the hallway outside, such as photos of mayors and councilmembers from throughout the city’s history, and a glass cabinet with photos and keepsakes pertaining to hometown legend Jim Myers (1937-2017) — the namesake of the stadium at Madison High School, where he once taught and coached football, wrestling and track.
Myers is an inductee in both the Michigan High School Coaches Hall of Fame and the Michigan Football Coaches Hall of Fame, but he was perhaps best known around the world as George “The Animal” Steele, a heel wrestler in the WWF, then the WWE. He even starred on the silver screen alongside Johnny Depp in the 1994 Tim Burton film “Ed Wood,” where he played
the Swedish wrestler/actor Tor Johnson.
During the open house March 8, there will also be a dedication to another prominent member of the community, Bill Huffman (1924-2019). Huffman served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, and later continued his public service in a different way, first as mayor of Madison Heights (1961-63) and then as a state representative (1963-74) and state senator (1975-82). Members of his family will bring scrapbooks detailing moments from his life, and answer questions about him.
The Historical Commission also continues to work on other initiatives, the most ambitious of which is an online database that will digitally archive materials depicting the city’s past.
To this end, the Historical Commission is asking the public to share any pictures or footage they may have from events such as parades, festivals, town hall meetings and sporting events — anything that provides a snapshot of the community at another point in the time. The committee will borrow the items and make digital copies, returning the originals.
The Historical Commission is also interested in conducting videotaped sit-down interviews with long-time residents and em-
ployees in the city, asking them about the city’s past and the conversations of the time. Ultimately, the goal is to digitize and tag everything, so that the materials will be easily searchable in archives at the city’s website.
To submit materials for this project, or to arrange an appointment touring the museum during hours outside the open house, call the Madison Heights Public Library at (248) 588-7763.
Roslyn Grafstein, the mayor of Madison Heights, said via email that the city has grown into “a diverse and dynamic community” in its 70 years.

bracing our future with the same spirit of progress that has always driven us. Seventy years ago, few could have imagined that we’d be planting rain gardens to address increasing 100-year floods, or adding colorful murals to our parks to strengthen our sense of community,” Grafstein said.
“Our Historical Commission plays a vital role in preserving this legacy,” she added.
“More than just a collection of artifacts, our historical museum brings our city’s story to life, offering insight into the challenges and triumphs that shaped Madison Heights. … By preserving our history, we honor those who came before us, and ensure that future generations remain connected to their roots.”

GROWING YOUR MONEY WITH HIGH-YIELD ACCOUNTS
BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — This may be news to some, but money doesn’t grow on trees. It can grow, however, if you know how and where to plant it.
Money is handy in a checking account or kept as cash because it can easily be spent. Investing what you don’t need to spend immediately in stocks, mutual funds and other long-term investments can see a high return when it is time to cash out — if you have years or decades to see it through.
For those looking to grow their unused cash but are not interested in waiting years to see the pay off, there are high-yield savings account options.
Banks and credit unions offer savings accounts as a way for customers to grow deposited funds through compounding inter-
est at a rate known as an annual percentage yield. The ability to build upon deposited funds through interest serves as a tradeoff for often not being able to directly use funds as they would be in a checking account. Using money in a savings account requires transferring funds to a checking account, and the frequency and amount of transfers is governed by federal regulations and often by policies set by individual banks and credit unions.
While savings accounts at large brickand-mortar institutions have APYs in the 0.01-0.05% range, the growth of online banking options has seen the rise of a more aggressive way to save — the high-yield savings account.
“A lot of (high-yield savings accounts) are offered by institutions that mainly do online services,” said Sam Taube, lead investing writer at NerdWallet. “They have fewer or
no branches and the way that they work, in a business model sense, is that those financial institutions have much lower overhead costs because they’re not renting storefronts to operate branches, and they pass those savings
along to the consumer in a higher APY.”
By cutting the overhead costs and funneling the savings into the accounts of mem-
Amy Persyn, chief marketing officer of First State Bank, said savings accounts can be used to build up money and behaviors.

bers, high-yield savings accounts from online institutions can have APY rates anywhere from 3-5%. However, the lack of overhead that leads to some banks being able to provide high-yield savings accounts can create problems for some savers.
“On one hand they offer a much higher APY than you would get from a traditional bank, but on the other the branchless model can mean that they offer slightly more limited customer service options than a traditional bank,” Taube said. “If you really want the ability to physically go to the bank and talk to someone if you have a problem, that may not be available through every highyield savings account provider.”
If the virtual nature of online banking is not attractive and the inability to directly pull from savings accounts seems stifling, brick-and-mortar banks and credit unions offer money market accounts as an alternative.
“It’s more like a hybrid between a checking and a savings account,” said Amy Persyn, chief marketing officer at First State Bank, on Groesbeck Highway in Clinton township. “This acts like a checking account
because you can write checks off of it.”
Unlike high-yield savings accounts from online banks, money market accounts can be directly used to make up to six transactions in a calendar month via checks or a debit card per federal regulations. APYs on money market accounts can rival those of high-yield savings accounts on an institution-by-institution basis.
Financial institutions offer other kinds of ways to build savings through accrued interest.
Certificates of deposit are savings accounts where money is held without being withdrawn and they have a fixed APY. Institutions may offer various themed savings accounts, such as those built around saving for holidays, vacations and taxes.
“Sometimes they (savings accounts) are about the rate you’re getting and sometimes it’s about creating a behavior that ends up benefiting you in the long run,” Persyn said.
Terms, conditions, fees, rates and other critical details for savings and money market accounts vary by institution. Prospective savers are encouraged to look around and see which institutions offer more agreeable conditions.

Woman dies after crashing into gravel hauler on I-75
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
HAZEL PARK — A woman allegedly driving too fast lost control of her vehicle on Interstate 75 and spun into the path of a truck that killed her, state police said.
According to Lt. Michael Shaw with the Michigan State Police, the incident occurred on northbound I-75 near Woodward Heights Boulevard in Hazel Park around 6:40 a.m. Feb. 20.
The deceased was a 24-year-old woman from Houston, Texas, who had been driving her Jeep Compass alongside a Kenworth gravel hauler. She reportedly lost control of her vehicle and began spinning out of control, sliding into the truck’s path, which plowed into the driver’s side of the Jeep and pushed it about 750 feet before finally managing to stop.
The driver of the Jeep was declared dead at the scene, while the driver of the gravel hauler was reportedly unharmed.
“We continue to remind drivers to slow down and drive carefully when road conditions change,” Shaw said in a statement on X, the website formerly known as Twitter, the same day as the incident. “Troopers investigated over 35 preventable crashes across the district since midnight.”
Earlier that week, on Feb. 17, the Michigan State Police reported that 22 peo-
ple had died on Michigan roadways within the past week, raising traffic deaths so far in 2025 to 94 — 20 fewer than this same time last year.
“Excessive speed, and following too closely, seem to be the main risky driving behaviors leading to these preventable crashes,” Shaw said in a followup interview.
He noted that in the case of the Texan woman, it appears she had been speeding. Shaw did not say whether other factors may have been involved, such as substance use or distracted driving. The investigation was ongoing, pending medical examiner reports.
But with the final phase of the state’s “Restore the Reuther” project underway, he said all motorists should be extra careful when driving on I-75, which will see traffic detoured from I-696.
In particular, eastbound I-696 will be closed this year and next, detouring via southbound M-10 (Lodge Freeway/Northwestern Highway), eastbound M-8 (Davison Freeway), and northbound I-75 back to eastbound I-696. Westbound I-696 will remain open, with periodic lane closures.
“Drivers need to know what route they are taking before the construction starts,” Shaw said. “Leave early, and keep your speeds at or below the posted speed limit.”

Firefighter
from page 3A
Following a round of applause, Brown shook hands with each council member. “Thank you for all you do to keep us safe, and to help all of the firefighters do their jobs better,” said the mayor, Roslyn Grafstein. “I appreciate everything you do for us.”
Brown then took a moment to share a few words.
“First and foremost, thank you to my lovely girlfriend, Maria. I know it can be frustrating when I’m gone for days, or when I tell you I’m coming home late because something came up. So, I appreciate your support,” Brown said. “And secondly, thank you to my crew. I have undoubtedly the best unit in the department, and they have high standards there, so they’re the ones who drive me to do what I do for the department. So, thank you to them, as well.”
Following the meeting, Grafstein noted that Brown has been recognized by the MHFD multiple times before, including last year when he received the Meritorious Service Award.
“It was no surprise to me that Lt. Brown received this honor,” she said.
Grafstein said that firefighting is one of the most demanding professions, requiring teamwork, quick thinking and unwavering dedication. She said the city remains committed to the MHFD, as seen in the renovations at Fire Station No. 2 and ongoing efforts to upgrade equipment for firefighter safety and emergency response.
Madison Heights City Councilman David Soltis agreed.
“I fully believe in public safety — fire, law enforcement, EMS. They all go hand in hand. We want the best for our employees and residents, and first responders are paramount. Every single resident expects that, so we need to have top-notch personnel and equipment,” Soltis said.
Mark Bliss, the mayor pro tem, said that he wants residents to appreciate the level of innovation at the MHFD.
“Over the past decade, they have transformed into one of the most forward-thinking fire departments in the state, and I’m really proud of what they’re doing,” Bliss said. “That’s part of the reason the lieutenant was awarded. A lot of his accomplishments are very positive, innovative, forward-thinking initiatives that he spearheaded. He’s an upand-coming leader, for sure — the next generation of leadership within our Fire Department. I think that’s important for our citizens to see.”
Promise Zone
where they live, including schools of choice students.
All graduates also receive FAFSA assistance — the Free Application for Federal Student Aid — along with college success coaching, community mentoring, and opportunities for summer school scholarships and textbook reimbursements.
Moussa Traore is the interim executive director of the Hazel Park Promise Zone. He was previously a college advisor and success coach for the program.
“It is very satisfying to see everything come together each year. It’s inspiring to see the transformation happening in these students’ lives,” Traore said. “They start out not sure whether or how they can go to college, and then they realize that they can. It’s a powerful experience that we’re providing them, helping these students to pursue a higher education, join the workforce and live the American dream.
“Many students feel fear and anxiety going to big campus universities like MSU or U of M. They often have this question, at first, of whether they belong in that setting,” he said. “So we as an organization try to support them and show them that they do belong in that educational space, and we help them to overcome their fear. We help them to be positive and confident, so that they can have the knowledge and capacity to make it to the finish line.”
The program itself was born from legislation signed into law by former Gov. Jennifer Granholm in early 2009, following which Hazel Park submitted a development plan for approval in 2010, becoming one of the initial 10 Promise Zones established in the state.
Each state-designated Promise Zone is partially funded by capturing one-half of the
increase in the state education tax, or SET, which increases with property values.
In Hazel Park, the Promise Zone also receives private donations from charitable organizations such as the Sutar-SutarukMeyer Foundation, the Ballmer Group and the Jacob Foundation, as well as a variety of local businesses and individuals.
The Hazel Park Promise Zone is a licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so all donations made to it are tax deductible. Donations in the form of checks made payable to “Hazel Park Promise Zone” can be sent to P.O. Box 514, Hazel Park, MI 48030. Alternatively, donations can be made online at hazelparkpromise.org.
There are also major fundraising events, such as the “Race to College” dinner held March 6, which this year raised more than $100,000 in one day.
Hazel Park Public Schools Superintendent Amy Kruppe sits on the board of the Hazel Park Promise Zone.
“The Promise Zone does exactly what it says. It makes a promise to our students and families to support them in our schools, as they transition to trade school and college,” Kruppe said via email. “Community makes a difference, and the Hazel Park Promise Zone makes the Hazel Park Schools a better place to grow up.”
Hazel Park City Councilwoman Alissa Sullivan, a member of the Hazel Park Promise Zone, attended the “Race to College” fundraiser and described it as well-attended and well-supported.
“This program in Hazel Park guarantees students in our schools free college education and free college degrees, and that’s not something a lot of cities around us can say,” Sullivan said. “And I think that the Promise Zone is really a beacon in our community that shows we value our students, our families and higher education.”

Drama
High, located at 23400 Hughes Ave. There will even be a pre-show song-and-dance workshop for kids before the Saturday show.
Tickets are $8 online and $10 at the door, with a complimentary community coffee hour in the lobby 45 minutes before showtime, and the auditorium doors open a half-hour early.
The show clocks in at 90 minutes and contains some mature themes and cartoon violence, and is recommended for ages 7 and older.
The play follows the titular orphan James, sent by his cruel aunts to chop down a fruit tree, only to discover a magic potion that yields a massive peach that takes him on an adventure around the world, where he meets a menagerie of strange creatures, including human-sized insects who talk.
The producer and director is Mark Fairbrother. He said in an email that he took the reins of the theater program in late 2022, eager to rebuild it after the pandemic closures, giving students the opportunity to develop artistic, technical and leadership skills.
“I’m loving every minute of it,” Fairbrother said. “I recently got to see two of my first graduates doing top-notch college theater work, onstage and behind the scenes, at Central Michigan University. I’m tremendously proud of them.”
In the upcoming play, more than 70 students will be featured, from fourth graders to seniors. Their contributions run the gamut, from the performers and their costumes, to special effects such as projections, water-based fog, handmade puppets and more.
The main cast includes junior Preston Blaze, playing James; junior Kayden Morton-Tellis, as Ladahlord; junior Axel Cochran, as Aunt Spiker; sophomore Mal
Staten, as Aunt Sponge; senior MoNai Johnson, as Ladybug; senior Justyn Harris, as Grasshopper; sophomore Dylan America, as Centipede; sophomore Quinn Beverlin, as Earthworm; and freshman Malaysia Hicks, as Spider.
For Blaze, the star of the play, this will be his sixth production with Hazel Park Drama.
“This has certainly been a big show for me,” Blaze said, adding that he has especially enjoyed training for the singing and dancing, as well as the puppetry, and having dozens of children onstage with him — among them his younger sister, Vivien, in fourth grade.
“We are fortunate to have this opportunity,” Blaze said. “My sister and I have built bonds and shared memories that we will look back on for the rest of our lives.”
Jeremiah Kemp, senior, is in charge of stage management, while junior Angel Wallace is handling lighting, sophomore Cupid Rude and senior Venus Workman are designing costumes, and seniors Tangela Charleston and Sylvia Stimac are tending to the audience experience.
“During my time at Hazel Park Drama, I have become a completely new person,” said Kemp, who plans to study technical theatre and design at Wayne State University next year, a decision inspired by his time in the club. “The community I joined has truly shaped me.”
Hazel Park Drama mounts two major shows each year, with recent productions including “It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play,” in December 2024; “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” in March 2024; “Clue,” in November 2023; and “The Addams Family,” in April 2023.
The club’s core group comprises more than 25 higher schoolers, in grades nine through 12, who participate in drama classes, regularly participate in workshops, and attend related field trips and socials. Additional students tend to lend a hand on each production.
The idea to include more students from the elementary schools and junior high came about when Fairbrother invited six of them from the district’s Summer Theatre Camp.
“Throughout that production, I loved seeing the teens actively mentor the younger kids, which led me to hold open auditions for that age bracket for this production,” Fairbrother said. “We were delighted by the large number of auditionees.”
The rehearsals began in January.
“I chose ‘James and the Giant Peach’ because it offered zany characters for our student actors to sink their teeth into, big dance numbers, and ample opportunity for us to attract newcomers — both to our cast and our audience,” Fairbrother said. “It’s a great show to introduce kids to theater’s magic. My hope is that local families who are either unfamiliar with theater or uncertain of how their younger kids may respond will enjoy this experience together.”
He said his students have really connected with the show’s themes, which include embracing your chosen family, cherishing the differences people have, and never losing hope. He also described the colorful appeal of the characters, from “oversized insects with distinct cultural backgrounds”
to “rowdy aunties living on the margins of society.”
Visually, the show will play heavily with contrast, evoking feelings of unease and isolation with the use of strong light and shadow, while at other times exploding into color with warm hues and a patchwork motif to convey moments of joy.
“One of the most gratifying aspects of this work is the students’ personal growth. I get to observe formerly risk-averse students who now seek challenges, and teens who once believed they had no skills now mentoring one another,” Fairbrother said.
He noted this includes students who were once shy but now act confidently on stage.
“Like many of today’s young people, there are students in this program who once expressed confusion and disillusionment about their futures, preferring to avoid such thoughts by sinking into TikTok and internet forums,” he said. “Now, they have their eyes firmly set on college and career, because they understand they are fully capable of dreaming and doing, having developed marketable skills and passions.”
