Education
Central to the lives of children, no matter the location, are their years as a part of the education system. As they grow from child to adult physically, they also grow mentally through the lessons and experiences that they acquire in classrooms. In West Augustine, students went through this process of maturity in three stages: childhood in elementary and middle school, teen years in high school, and the beginnings of adulthood in college. Segregation, transportation, health, discipline, sports, and more are explored through the eyes of those who lived through these experiences. Thus, tracing these stories of students in school over the course of their lives, across generations, documents just one way in which students came of age in the neighborhood of West Augustine.
