First-Year Seminar Posters (COE 102/103)
The main social issue addressed at Hyde Park Middle School is education.

They provide free and reduced breakfast and lunches for students who cannot necessarily afford to eat otherwise. This makes it so they can focus on the lessons rather than their hunger. …
