Next month they’ll take it one step further, crossing the stage together to receive their doctoral degrees in professional leadership from the University of Houston College of Education.&#xD;
They’ve juggled raising children, working and school, all amid COVID-19, Winter Storm Uri and family loss. The journey hasn’t been easy, but they’ll graduate stronger with new tools to help marginalized students succeed.&#xD;
