Katie Klasing began her junior year at Mountain Brook High School with a mission: She wanted to reinstate the then-defunct Heritage Panel, an organization dedicated to social justice and working for change in schools.
Now a graduating senior, Klasing can say she not only successfully brought the organization back to life and completed some of its long-term goals, but also that she was selected as one of the recipients of the 2016 Princeton Prize in Race Relations for her work.
