Marcus Beaty, East High School Graduate Class of 2007
“Being a black male, statistics say that the chances of me going to a highly ranked college and graduating with dual degrees are slim. I really appreciated the cultural experience of East High School because it really prepared me for my college career. The transition from a private school to a city school my freshman year was a difficult one and I made up my mind that I had to take responsibility for my learning. With this knowledge I took responsibility for my own learning and sought out excellence in college and in the workforce. I challenged and defeated every statistic regarding black males succeeding and continuing onto college. I graduated from Hobart College with a Master’s in Economics and Africana Studies. I seek excellence in what I do. I care about my future and continuing on my road to success”
