Dillard University Alumna Dr. Doris R. Hicks is one of the best; local media has deemed her so. Gambit and BestofNewOrleans.com recognized and made honorable mention of four outstanding school principals, including Dr. Hicks in their annual "Best of New Orleans" issue. The principal and CEO of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Charter School in the Lower Ninth Ward acknowledges the dedication of students, teachers and parents in making a difference. The school will graduate its first class of senior students this spring.
