KERA's launching a new American Graduate series called, “Race, Poverty and the Changing Face of Schools.” For the last six months, KERA’s education reporters have embedded in four very different high schools, which we’ll explore for the next few weeks. First up, Bill Zeeble traces the multiple transformations of Kimball High in the Oak Cliff neighborhood of southern Dallas.
