“I would say to my students, you are ‘History Makers,’ people will want to talk to you about what you saw and how you felt for the rest of your life.” – Ada Dolch
Unit 1: Rebuilding a School Community

Ada Dolch was the principal of a high school that is a block away from the World Trade Center site. She led her students out of danger and then supported them emotionally when they returned to a challenging environment. In honor of her sister, who died in Tower One, she helped fund a new school in Afghanistan.
