Conversation with Michelle White

The Assistant Dean, Early College and Access Programs at Baltimore City Community College returned for a Conversation with the students.  This was a great chance to catch up on our progress this year and the learnings we can take from all that happened.  Much of the conversation was used for an evaluation session of our experiences with the college classes provided by BCCC at our school. Eleventh and twelfth grade students took two courses through BCCC this year – English 101 and 102, earning 6 college credits.

We all expressed our gratitude for Michelle and Baltimore City Community College for enriching our students’ education and opportunities.

Quinn Guilfoyle’s Play Performed at Center Stage

“Baltimore: As It Was, So It Is” is the award winning play by tenth grade student Quinn Guilfoyle. It was performed as part of the Young Playwrights Festival sponsored by Baltimore Center Stage.  The play was chosen among over a hundred entries and then Quinn worked with the creative team at Center Stage to bring it to life. This commitment by Baltimore Center Stage to showcase this work along with 5 other young playwrights is evidence of their determination to develop and promote the  creative talent and expression of young people.

Prior to the performance, a video was shown of Quinn being interviewed by Center Stage Artistic Director Stevie Walker-Webb where Quinn talked about the development of this creative work. It was a great experience to see this meaningful play about life in Baltimore and to witness Quinn’s creative vision coming to life. Congratulations Quinn; we are so proud of you!
