The author of the New York Times Bestselling The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot, is an MLC alumna. The high school went to Jefferson HS to hear her speak in 2011.
We asked her, along with questions pertaining to her book, about what MLC had been like when she attended. She told a story about setting up an independent business study, which involved taking a road trip through California and selling handmade beaded jewelry.
She also remembered Lewis, the high school math teacher who has been a part of MLC since 1972 - that's right, that's 40 years of teaching at MLC. That's commitment.
