Nancy Bartosz, assistant principal at Westmont High School is one of those people that you thank the world for every day. Nancy has been emphatic about our program since the day she heard about it and has gone out of her way to ensure that the program was delivered to her students. Corey Blake had the opportunity to meet Nancy in person recently at Roosevelt University, where the two participated in an event for youth based initiatives. In February, Robert plans and is eager to visit Westmont and speak to their students.
