Saving a School Under Siege: A Conversation with Antoinette Tuff

On August 20, 2013, a lone gunman entered McNair Discovery Learning Academy in DeKalb County.  He walked to the front desk where bookkeeper Antoinette Tuff was filling in while the school’s secretary was at lunch.  

What happened next captured headlines across the country and is recounted in a book by Ms. Tuff, entitled, “Prepared for a Purpose” (with Alex Tresniowski, Bethany House, 2014).
