Epiphany in Progress... The Film

Update

“If I could write a book it wouldn't be called 'Movin' On Down,' because I never moved down. I've always moved to a bigger and better place.”
Algia Benjamin, sixth grade student,
in Epiphany in Progress

The School

80 fifth through eighth graders now attend Epiphany. They are taught by five Master Teachers and ten interns. The school is housed in its own newly constructed building a short drive from its original site in Boston.

The Teachers

The three original Master Teachers have remained at the school. Of these, Michelle Gomes currently serves as Principal, along with John Finley, Head of School, and Jennifer Daly, Director of Outreach and Chaplain.

The Students

Graduates of Epiphany attend private, charter, and public schools, most of which are in Greater Boston. Algia Benjamin now attends Boston College High School, a Jesuit Catholic high school. Latarshia Ellison now attends City on a Hill School, a charter school in Boston; she likes it and is doing well. Jerrod Masucci moved to Florida with his grandmother.

The Interns

Of the six original interns, one is in medical school, one is now a lawyer, one is completing a degree at Teachers College in New York, one is working for the Unitarian Universalist Association, one has been traveling and studying in China, and one, having remained at the school, is now in charge of graduate support.
