(AP) -- U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan is planning to visit two Atlanta high schools. 

Duncan is scheduled to be in Atlanta on Monday for a trip to Tech High School at 10 a.m. for a "listening and learning" session, part of a nationwide tour. There, he will be joined by U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Georgia Republican. 

Duncan also will visit Grady High School for a roundtable discussion of violence prevention. 

Duncan has held similar sessions across the country in recent months as Congress prepares to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
