Wilmington – In his weekly message, filmed at Mount Pleasant High School in Wilmington, Governor Markell highlights improvements made to Delaware’s education system in the four years since the implementation of Race To The Top.

“We’ve invested in better data to track students’ progress; teachers receive more support and feedback; we’ve renovated science labs, and we’re providing targeted counseling and programs for freshman to adjust to high school,” said Governor Markell. “Our work isn’t finished, but Race To The Top has laid the groundwork for our schools to keep improving and that will keep Delaware moving forward.”

Every week, the Governor’s office releases a new Weekly Message in video, audio, and transcript form. The message is available on:
