Here’s how SBHS summed up the day on Instagram:

We had the distinct pleasure of welcoming N.C. State Superintendent Maurice “Mo” Green to Sallie B. Howard School on Friday. This important visit was facilitated by our State Rep. Dante Pittman.

We proudly showcased our campus and shared our signature SBH Eagle hospitality. Superintendent Green left impressed!

We’re so glad Superintendent Green had the opportunity to visit this amazing charter school and Coalition member school. We share some photos from the visit below, including one of Sandeep Aggarwal, a Coalition Board member and the assistant director at SBHS. He is standing in front of the travel case at SBHS, containing treasures students and school leaders have brought back through the school’s innovative study abroad (and formerly travel abroad) program.

Green’s remarks included the following comments, according to a press release from the N.C. Department of Public Instruction (DPI):
