A True Education Hero, Florida Band Director Gets All His Kids Graduated And Off To College
If you worry about the future of our kids, listen to the story of Miramar High School. Miramar was one of the worst schools in Florida, but in 10 years, with a new administration and dedicated teachers, it’s now among the best.
Leading the way is Alvin Davis, the band director, who is now a finalist for National Teacher of the Year.
CBS News correspondent Byron Pitts reports that Davis is more than the music teacher and band director. He’s old-school, no-nonsense, and an inspiration.
“I see every report card. I see every interim, and if the grades aren’t up to par, they’re gonna take a break from being in my program,” Davis said.
