When Ashley Pitroipa moved here from Burkina Faso three years ago, she spoke no English and felt “completely lost.” At Cardozo EC, she says she found a community that felt like home. Now she’s in the TransSTEM Academy, plays volleyball and softball, and has $20K in private scholarships to study mechanical engineering at Florida A&M University. “Where I’m from, women are expected to stay home…I want to be something a little different.” #DCPSGoesToCollege
