In the mid 1990's TV producer Ashley Rogers did a segment on T.H. Culhane's educational reform work at Hollywood High School for NBC's "Save Our Streets" television news magazine. From 1994 to 1997 Culhane worked with the ROTC and retired Air Force personnel teaching science and multi-media production to "at-risk" inner city youth. This program shows him in action.

  • Vielen Dank für die freundliche Antwort. Übrigens, wenn wir nicht in Kairo sind, wir leben in Deutschland, in Essen und

    wir arbeiten mit den Einwanderern und Flüchtlingen. Wir hoffen, dass Deutschland haben mehr Erfolg mit Integration als Amerika. :)

  • we need more teachers like him

  • Thanks Janepak, that is very kind of you to say so! After 10 years trying to 'save our streets' in South Central L.A., with September 11 and the war in Iraq weighing on my conscience, I moved to Cairo, Egypt, where, for the past 4 years, I have been using my teaching techniques in the ghettoes and slums of this troubled Arab nation. In particular, my wife and I have founded Solar CITIES to train poor Egyptian youth to build solar energy systems. Thanks again for your comment!

  • wow you made a difference I am currently going to Hollywood High and it has become an excellent school thanks to the SAS program which brought the test scores up! It is now safe to go walking around hollywood because it is a metropolitan area.

  • i WENT TO HOLLYWOOD HIGH SCHOOL & I WILL BE THE FIRST TO SAY IT SUCKS ! VERY GHETTO

  • WOW...Mr. Culhane. Very nice documentary. We laughed so hard. Special Memories watching this video. Thanks alot for everything you did for all of us and for taking time to understand us. You are an excellent teacher. Keep teaching around the world for a better future. Thx. CLASS '96.

    P.S. : Video Toaster (Software) ha ha ha ha ha ha

  • No, he ended up teaching in the slums of Cairo Egypt, founding an NGO called Solar CITIES that does green collar job training, helping the poor help themselves to the abundant energy provided by the sun. Wish he had been your teacher though, as you would have then lived the lyrics of the Obscura song "Exit Life". Seriously, you would only be killing yourself...

  • This is an awesome show, & this segment is great! I wasn't at risk, but I'd have wanted him to teach me to. I love this, remember watching this show back in the day!

  • keep up the good work Mr Culhane!!!! Juan Lopez Class of 93'...say hello to Mr Washington for me. I think he remembers me!
