Michelle Obama said to reach higher. So Norte Vista High School in Riverside is reaching for a visit from the former first lady.
Inspired by Obama’s “Reach Higher” initiative, which encourages students to attend college or professional training after high school, students and staff members at the school have launched a focused effort to get her to speak on campus.
Obama hasn’t indicated whether she might come. But as she tours the country to promote her memoir, “Becoming,” she’s already given some personal attention to Norte Vista.
