Washington DC Escorts: Pimmit Hills Student Body Rallies to Keep Alternative High School Open
Written on March 11, 2010 – 4:25 am | by hookerlooker
The Pimmit Hills student community is unique in its diversity – 99 percent are foreign-born – and the school is accessible to students older than 18 who are not otherwise eligible to attend regular high school. The majority of students also work full-time jobs before and after school.
Now, with the county considering rerouting current students to Bryant in Alexandria and Mountain View in Centreville, at opposite ends of Fairfax County, Pimmit Hills students say they face losing their best chance for higher education.
“This is a great opportunity for me to follow my dreams,” said Mikru Selato, a 23 year-old from Ethiopia who has lived in the U.S. for two years.
Selato, who lives in Herndon, drives his 1999 Nissan Altima to school every morning to start class at 7 a.m. Upon dismissal at 3 p.m., he takes off to Dulles Airport for a full day’s shift. He works 40 hours a week as a dispatcher for the airport’s wheelchair escort service.
