Tim Sampson, Soulsville Foundation
(Memphis, TN.)--It's a school with soul and it's at the "top of the class!" The first ever graduating class of The Soulsville Charter School in Memphis, Tennessee is gaining a lot of national attention this week. All 51 graduating seniors, (that's right 100 percent) are college bound! Graduation Thursday night included a lot of "pomp and circumstance" along with more than 3.6 million dollars in scholarship money.
Varion Walton discovers a huge part of the success was using music as a hook! The students never had to look any further than their front door for a connection to Memphis' rich musical heritage because Stax Museum is located next door!
