We're wrapping up our celebration of Newark's 350th Anniversary with a story from Sakina Pitts.

In 1990, Pitts was an 8th grader at Chancellor Elementary School in Newark.  

And for most 8th graders, graduating elementary school is the beginning of their journey in figuring out what they want to be when they grow up.  

This was definitely the case for Pitts, who’s path paved it’s way back to her elementary school as its principal.
