My students come from a strong background in the performing arts. The majority of them have been at our performing arts academy since kindergarten, and are very eager for exposure to highly engaging project and performance-based learning environments. Although they do not appear very diverse at first glance (i.e. nearly 100% African American), they have a very wide range of abilities and talents that as their teacher, I strive to provide an avenue to develop and shine. Our school prides itself on our 100% college acceptance and graduation rates for seniors. These successes begin through the foundations built during their elementary, and middle school education, and even more importantly their skills put into practice throughout their freshman year of high school. Placed in one of the lowest socioeconomic zip codes of Detroit, MI, our school by no surprise lacks a significant level of funding that is necessary to supply engaging resources, let alone enough textbooks or handouts.
