The show features interviews with Henry Middle School principal Wendy Lanier and Hill Middle School principal Don Roy.
Both Hill and Henry middle schools are among the 13 identified by the Denver Board of Education as eligible to tap 2003 mill levy funds earmarked to help schools improve student achievement and, as a result, regain support from the local community.
On the show, both principals also discuss the challenges of middle school education.
The show will begin airing Wednesday, Sept. 1 on Denver 8 cable. The show can be seen every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 8 a.m. and every Friday and Saturday at 8:30 p.m. throughout the month.
The show is hosted by News 4 education reporter Anna Alejo.

Channel 48 is an ITFS microwave channel that is received only within all DPS facilities and delivered on cable channel 48 in the each classroom.
