A public charter school in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood hosted the June 7 presentation of the seventh annual Pauletta and Denzel Washington Family Gifted Scholars Program in Neuroscience awards. Founded by Deborah Kenny, Ph.D., in 2001, Harlem Village Academies gained national acclaim for turning at-risk students into college-bound scholars. The academies made history in 2007 as the first in Harlem to achieve 100 percent proficiency in math and science, and more than 90 percent in reading.
