In Megan O'Neill's English classes at Saint Viator High School, students are just as likely to study classics like "The Scarlet Letter" as they are Amanda Gorman's "The Hill We Climb."

"If you just keep those books in the 1920s or 1600s, I don't think students are going to get as much out of it. But if you're bringing those events from those historical time periods and the values of those time periods, and comparing and contrasting them to present day and what students are actually going through today, that's what brings more merit."
