Podcasts about Garfield High School

"Adults in the Room" is a new limited series on "Focus," KUOW's dedicated documentary podcast feed. In 1998, a popular teacher at Garfield High School in Seattle — named Tom Hudson — falls into a crevasse while mountain-climbing in Olympic National Park with six of his teenage students. The students pull off a daring rescue, saving their mentor with techniques he taught them. Isolde Raftery, a reporter for the school paper, initially plans to write about the rescue as a hero story validating Hudson’s leadership. But she learns he cut corners during the climb... and it wasn't the first time he'd done so. This discovery leads to a confrontation between Isolde and Hudson, and is the first crack in the teacher's legendary reputation at Garfield — which shatters months later.Support the show: https://kuow.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1999, student journalists at Garfield High School heard a rumor. It was about a beloved teacher named Tom Hudson. He taught biology. He ran a popular outdoors program. And, according to the rumor, he sexually abused students. The journalists broke the news of these allegations for their school newspaper…. And chaos unfolded. The reporters faced pressure to step down from the paper. Their schoolmates turned on them. Their teacher was placed on leave. And, just a few months after everything blew up, Mr. Hudson died by suicide. “Adults in the Room” is a new series from KUOW that explores the questions that went unanswered 27 years ago: Did Mr. Hudson really abuse these students? Or did these young journalists act irresponsibly, at the expense of a teacher’s life? Guests: Isolde Raftery is a managing editor at KUOW. She's also the host of “Adults in the Room" and one of the student journalists who broke the news on these allegations at Garfield.

The focus of this podcast episode is an engaging discussion with author Hank Gola, who recounts the extraordinary story of a high school football team that achieved remarkable success just before World War II. Gola's book, entitled "City of Champions," delves into the 1939 National Championship High School Football Game, where Garfield High School from New Jersey triumphed over the formidable Miami High School in a dramatic clash held in the Orange Bowl. The narrative not only chronicles the game itself but also situates it within the broader historical context of the Great Depression and the impending global conflict, exploring how the experiences of these young athletes foreshadowed their eventual service in World War II. We are afforded a glimpse into the lives of these players, who transitioned from the innocence of high school football to the harsh realities of the battlefield. This episode promises to captivate those with an interest in both sports history and the profound impact of historical events on individual lives.Also, check out more of Hank's writing at HankGola.comJoin us at the Pigskin Dispatch website to see even more Positive football news!

Seattle officials who kicked police out of schools are now scrambling to bring them back after student shootings and violence skyrocketed. What a surprise! Yet another case of liberal policies creating a deadly mess they refuse to take responsibility for. This video breaks down how Seattle Public Schools abandoned school resource officers during the BLM movement, directly leading to multiple student deaths and shootings at Garfield High School and other campuses. Meanwhile, districts like Frisco, Texas implemented common-sense security measures with retired officers while Seattle continued its dangerous virtue signaling. Is anyone shocked that removing authority figures from schools led to increased violence? How many more students have to die before officials admit their ideological experiment failed? Subscribe and share to expose the real cost of these failed policies that nobody in leadership wants to acknowledge.

According to Sports Illustrated, Dick Crews—the first Black men's basketball player at the University of Washington—has died at 89 after a battle with Alzheimer's. A Garfield High School graduate, Crews broke the color barrier at UW in the 1955–56 season, despite initial resistance from alumni and even the coach, Tippy Dye. His courage paved the way for future stars like Brandon Roy and Isaiah Thomas. Crews endured racism on and off the court, including being denied service at restaurants while traveling with the team. “You have to stand up… or you run away from everything,” he once said. His legacy as a trailblazer still shapes the University of Washington's basketball team today. Rest in peace, Dick Crews.

Did you know that the Seattle Public Library offers any U.S. resident, ages 13-26, a free “Books Unbanned Card,” which allows you to check out any e-books or e-audiobooks from the Library's digital collection, no matter where you live? This is just one example of how people are resisting new restrictions on information and education across the country. In his new book, Teach Truth, Seattle educator and author Jesse Hagopian discusses these restrictions and offers advice on how to defend antiracist education. Hagopian outlines how numerous states and school districts in recent years have enacted policies or laws mandating how to teach about systemic racism and oppression—policies that impact nearly half of all students in the U.S. Thousands of books have been banned from schools. Teachers face termination, attacks, and disciplinary action. You can be punished, including jail time, for providing access to a banned book. These new changes have old roots in McCarthyism's Red Scare and Lavender Scare. They have strongholds in U.S. history. But there is also strong pushback. Hagopian shows how the fight against them also has a rich legacy, from the resistance to anti-literacy laws for enslaved people to the Black Lives Matter at School movement today. Hagopian calls to defend antiracist education, showing how to reclaim suppressed history by creating beloved classroom communities and healthy social movements. Jesse Hagopian has taught in public schools for over 20 years, serves on the Black Lives Matter at School steering committee, organizes for the Zinn Education Project, and founded the Ethnic Studies course at Seattle's Garfield High School. He is an editor for Rethinking Schools magazine, the co-editor of Black Lives Matter at School and Teaching for Black Lives, and the editor of More Than a Score: The New Uprising Against High Stakes Testing.

Feliks Banel presents a live broadcast featuring rare and one-of-a-kind Northwest Christmas radio and other audio gems, as well as a few national and international ones, too. We dig deep into the archives for songs and stories from J.P. Patches and Gertrude, Pat O'Day, Stan Boreson, Jeff Renner, Charles Herring and many, many more -- including the Garfield High School 1963 Christmas LP, vintage Union Pacific Seattle radio ad, Beatles' 1963 fan club Christmas record, and Ed Murrow's Christmas Eve 1940 broadcast from London. This LIVE broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 8pm Pacific Standard Time on Sunday, December 1, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org at historic Magnuson Park - formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

He was one of the greatest musical minds of the 20th century… and he hailed from Seattle. Songwriter, composer, arranger and producer Quincy Jones, died yesterday at the age of 91.  The 28-time Grammy winner moved to the Pacific Northwest at the age of 10 and eventually graduated from Garfield High School. Jones credited Seattle's musical openness with shaping his style. He met Ray Charles here. In a typical night, they would play across the city, from the tony Seattle Tennis Club to hangouts on Jackson Street, which was in the city's red light district, playing classical, jazz, marches, and pop music.   Jones played jazz trumpet. Quincy Jones described his time in Seattle for PBS' “American Masters” in 2021: "We had to play everything with school. We played Sousa. And you play classical music and Debussy… on the jobs… Ray Charles, we, played Debussey on some of the jobs and we had to play Big Fat Butterfly parody, a parody on a poor butterfly. We had to play absolutely everything." That musical openness and genre defying attitude was a thread that he carried throughout his life.  In the 50's, Jones played with some of the jazz greats, including Herbie Mann, Zoot Sims, Hank Jones and Charles Mingus on Evening in Paris from his 1957 LP, “This Is How I Feel About Jazz." A few years later Jones played with Ray Charles on "One Mint Julep." But soon, Jones was branching out stylistically. He left an indelible mark on the music industry through his film scores... And while Soul Bossa Nova wasn't specifically WRITTEN for Austin Powers, it certainly became known as the theme song for the "International Man of Mystery..." He arranged songs for legends like Frank Sinatra. And in the 70's, when funk was EVERYWHERE, Jones turned it into gold, including the track "The Streetbeater," which became the theme song to Sanford & Sons... In the 80's Jones famously produced Michael Jackson's meteoric rise to stardom, with tracks like "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough." He butted heads with Jackson on the opening to Billie Jean... (He thought it was too long, Jackson disagreed.) And made the notorious phone call that got Eddie Van Halen in the studio to play guitar on "Beat It..." Quincy Jones, a giant of American music, is one of few producers to have number one records in three consecutive decades, the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s... Jones passed Sunday night at his home in Los Angeles. He was 91. Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

I am a dad. That means I worry almost constantly about our kids. This week, I met two lovely people who made me worry a tiny bit less about how I am doing as a parent. You may have heard of Dr. David Baker. He’s a genius who works at UW on creating brand new proteins.  He was just awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work. He’s a pretty big deal. What you may not have heard, is that long before he was a Nobel recipient, he was a kid in Seattle Public Schools. He went to Garfield High School and what was then Meany Junior High.

Riley Mulherkar grew up in Seattle, the Pacific Northwest enclave that has been home to so many musical innovators over the years. He went to Garfield High School, a school that has fostered countless talents going all the way back to Quincy Jones who was himself a young trumpet player at the school in the 1940s. Riley was just eight years-old when he began seeing the legendary Garfield High School big-band play free gigs in his Seattle neighborhood; it's one of the reasons he picked up the trumpet. He was clearly meant to play the instrument.  By the time he got to Juilliard in New York, Riley had shown up on the radar of Wynton Marsalis, who became a mentor. If this story is sounding familiar, it's because it resembles the experience of so many musicians of his generation who have similar origin stories.  On a deeper level, it's a story that echoes through the history of jazz - young musicians who are compelled to move to New York after only a small handful of interactions with their heroes.  Riley Mulherkar is very much a man of his moment, and also mindful of those echoes from the past. His new album - his first under his own name and called, simply, Riley is awash in the echoes of history but also boldly embraces contemporary sounds and textures, it reframes classic material that was influential to him and positions his original compositions in that continuum.  The album was a long time in the making. It's the result of years of experimentation and reflection, and that patience is palpable in the music. Above all, the feeling of the record is totally compelling. And feeling was at the heart of the project all along. He says he was not interested in making something that sounded like an old record, but rather that felt the way he feels when he listens to his heroes, something he describes as “hyperrealism”. We spoke earlier this year about how the Riley album came together - he worked closely with pianist Chris Pattishall and guitarist/producer Rafiq Bhatia - his diverse career as a collaborator, music presenter, composer, and now solo artist, and how thinking of jazz as a family tree helped him to find his place in the music.  www.third-story.com https://leosidran.substack.com/ https://www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story  

Rhythm & News Podcast interview with Josalyn Ford, Chief Advancement Officer of the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle to share more information about the Urban Leagues Annual Summer Resource Fair at Garfield High School. Interview by Chris B. Bennett. 

Mental health has spiraled into a nationwide crisis, especially for young people. On Strike! speaks with local high school student activists Natalya, Charlotte, and Fatra, who organized alongside Kshama Sawant's socialist City Council office and a movement of hundreds of other students, socialists, and union members to demand $20 million in funding for student mental health services in 2023 by increasing the city's Amazon Tax – and they won. We also speak with educator and union member Adam Ziemkowski, who was a lead organizer in Kshama Sawant's socialist City Council office for a decade, and has played a crucial role in many victories, including the fight for mental health services in 2023, as well as winning the original Amazon Tax victory in 2020. If you're inspired by these students fighting back, help us spread these ideas. REGISTER NOW to join antiwar Presidential candidate Jill Stein and Kshama for Workers Strike Back's INAUGURAL NATIONAL ZOOM CONFERENCE on Sunday, July 21, at 2 pm Pacific / 5 pm Eastern. www.workersstrikeback.org/events/july-national-mtg Nearly 20 percent of high school students - one in five - report serious thoughts about suicide, and nearly one in ten report a suicide attempt. This has gone hand in hand with a frightening increase in gun violence affecting young people. Since 2017, gun deaths have become the leading cause of death among people under 25, with a major increase since the start of the COVID pandemic. In Seattle, where On Strike! is filmed, young people are facing both these crises – mental health and gun violence. Just last month, a 17-year-old Garfield High School student Amarr Murphy-Paine was tragically gunned down outside during the school lunch hour. Seattle's Democratic Party political establishment and their mouthpieces, like the Seattle Times, have been cynically trying to exploit this latest school shooting by insisting that cops need to be brought back into schools. So young people are continuing to fight back and get organized to demand action – mental health support and fully-funded public schools, NOT COPS. Seattle's corporate Democratic Mayor Bruce Harrell and all-Democrat City Council are refusing to hire social workers and mental health counselors for Seattle's public school students, even though the money is already there as a result of last year's victory of increasing the annual Amazon Tax. Watch to hear how the students are also connecting their struggles to the other urgent questions facing working people, like how to end the genocidal war on Gaza and build the strongest vote against both Biden and Trump in November and for Jill Stein. Be sure to subscribe to On Strike! Workers Strike Back relies on members and supporters across the country and around the world to produce On Strike! and to get the resources we need to get organized to win our demands. BECOME A MEMBER TODAY and get involved to help us build a fighting workers' movement.

Community members greeted kids on their way into Garfield High School in Seattle's Central District, after Mt. Zion Baptist Church, and the organization 100 Black Parents organized a massive show of support. Classes started up again Tuesday morning after a shooting on campus that claimed the life of 17-year old student, Amarr Murphy-Paine.  The shooter, believed to be another high school aged boy, has not been found or identified by Seattle Police.  Monday, a 15-year-old boy pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, among other charges, in the shooting death of a classmate at Ingraham High School in North Seattle in 2022.  In the wake of that shooting, Seattle Public Schools and local elected leaders pledged to step up mental health support for students and improve safety on school campuses and in surrounding neighborhoods. But nearby gun violence has since repeatedly shattered the peace at Garfield, putting the school on lockdown, and now another Seattle student has lost their life at school.   So – what's the answer? How do we protect kids at school –  the place where the LAST thing they should be worried about is dodging gunfire?

Seattle Police say they have stepped up their presence today on the Garfield High School campus in the Central District. Interim Police Chief Sue Rahr told King 5 that Seattle Public Schools reached out to ask for the support – following the shooting of 17-year old Amarr Murphy-Paine on campus last week. Parents, teachers, and students gathered at Garfield on Tuesday to talk about what safety and security needs to look like at the school.   There have been at least six shootings in and around Garfield over the past year, either on campus or within a few blocks of the school.     And one Garfield parent says she's tired of seeing the same response from the district, over and over. Guests: Carol Rava is the parent of both a current and former Garfield student. She's also a one-time Seattle Public Schools employee, and wrote an op-ed for the Seattle Times on school safety, published this week.  Related Links: https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/stop-the-bleeding-sps-needs-to-do-better-to-keep-students-safe/  https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/seattle-police-presence-garfield-high-school/281-2594b875-e5b1-4a30-af2d-1fd58618ed00 https://www.kuow.org/stories/mapped-shootings-around-seattle-s-garfield-high-school-this-year  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Interim Seattle Police Chief Sue Rahr has a big mandate: Hire more officers, and clean up a department culture that has led to half a dozen lawsuits from high ranking SPD officers who say they were the victims of discrimination, harassment or retaliation.  Many parents and city leaders are also asking what more can be done to protect kids in Seattle schools, following a shooting at Garfield High School on June 6 that left one 17-year-old student dead. One idea that's gained some attention – and pushback – is to bring Seattle Police Department community resource officers back to Seattle Public Schools campuses. Soundside host Libby Denkmann sat down with Chief Rahr to discuss her vision for the Seattle Police Department, and the crisis of school safety. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Back around the era when this came out in the late '80's/early '90's it felt like there was a new heroic teacher drama (Dead Poet's Society, Lean On Me) being released every six months.  This particular inspirational drama was directed by Ramon Menendez and might be one of the best of that group.  It's based upon the true story of Jaime Escalante and his advanced math class at Garfield High School in East Los Angeles.  Escalante was a math whiz and he taught his students not only how to be math whizzes but eventually AP Calculus.  And we follow all of their stories towards clearing this difficult academic hurdle.  Edward James Olmos stars as Professor Escalante alongside Lou Diamond Phillips, Rosanna DeSoto, Andy Garcia, and several other talented young actors. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
