An Oakland man whose life was changed in high school after being injured in a shooting has paired up with a fellow educator to help East Oakland teens succeed through an innovative school model.
"I remember my leg hurting a lot, feeling alone in this world," Martinez said.
Founding Principal Lillian Hsu joined Martinez on the team that started Latitude High School in 2017 — a free, public charter school in East Oakland. Latitude is a new opportunity for nearly 300 students a year where more than 90 percent are students of color and 70 percent qualify for free or reduced lunch.
