Students Rising Above (SRA) is a CBS 5 and CBS5.com series of news stories, web features, and public service announcements, profiling low-income, at-risk Bay Area high school seniors who are overcoming tremendous obstacles.
Wendy Tokuda has been reporting these stories for more than 10 years, and brought the project here to CBS5 in 2007.
