“RISE” inspired. It is rare when a film is made about a school that is complementary. This film did far more than that, it abounded in praise for a vision, that literally is not being done anywhere else, that of “putting students first.” RISE highlighted the unique student emphasis, the creative approach to learning, and really got deep into the psyche of the school and its students. I took several teacher friends to the premier. I will invite even more to consequent showings. This is a film every educator needs to see.
