Booker T. Washington High School
By: Rosabeth M. Kanter and Michelle Heskett
Abstract
For over a decade, Principal Elsie Bailey has led a turnaround of this inner-city high school in Memphis. Although she's made progress, some problems have arisen for this "school of last resort" that deals with some of the more difficult student populations, and changes in district leadership and approach have posed additional challenges.
