My high school students are highly motivated AP Biology students who are choosing to take on a big challenge. For many of them, my class will be their first AP class, and some of them are reaching higher in school than they imagined possible. They are very diverse - we live in a navy town, and people have come here from all over the world. Some of them are first generation immigrants, and some will be the first person in their family ever to graduate high school or attend college. Our school is clean, safe, and is an academic, athletic, and artistic leader in our district, and my AP Biology students consistently perform better than the national average on the AP Biology exam. While some of my students will head off to elite private schools (with a lot of financial help!), many others will struggle to pay for University of California or California State University schools nearby, and some will only be able to afford junior college.
