On June 26, 2009, the Facing History School's first graduating class celebrated the culmination of their hard work and determination in a four-hour ceremony packed with parents and friends. It was just four years ago that this small public high school in New York City opened with Facing History and Ourselves as its lead partner. Rosie Perez, the Brooklyn-born actress who worked with the students through Urban Arts Partnership, was the keynote speaker.
