"I read 'The Hot Zone' during biology class with Mr. Bodznik my freshman year. It was really fascinating and I decided then that I wanted to learn more about global health and disease," said Mills, who attended Arcadia High School in Phoenix. READ MORE >>

#RedForEd redux? Arizona's teachers, lawmakers fighting similar battles as in West Virginia

This month,
West Virginia's teachers left their classrooms for the second time in a year
to protest new legislation. The measure to which they objected would have introduced charter schools into the state and a limited school-voucher style program similar to Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Accounts.
It's too soon to know if Arizona educators will walk out again, but recent action from lawmakers has spurred new strain between the state's Republican politicians and teachers.
