Yes this is a 100% feel good story.  Deal with it.  When the politics and bs in the world get me down I like a story that shows how great people can be.  We had two classes of hero here:  The student who refused to fail, and the school and community that rallied behind her.

I saw this on Fox News, on Heartland, and tracked it down. 

Read it and weep.

Brandon High School Lifted Grad From Shadows

The call came into the main office at Brandon High School from a teacher who found a mess under portable classroom No. 24.

There was a cardboard box, about the size of a mattress. There were empty plastic water bottles and several wadded-up McDonald’s bags.

Assistant Principal Stephanie Davis was among those who went to investigate. She stood by the steps of the portable classroom while another administrator crawled through the narrow gap between the damp ground and the classroom floor.

They weren’t sure what they would find — perhaps a vagrant — but the mystery quickly unfolded piece by piece.
