We are a K-12 campus for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to serious behavioral problems. The sign in our lobby sums it all up: We save lives for a living. Many of our students have had little or no exposure to reading and are seriously behind in school. My students often believe that they are destined for failure and it is my job to make sure that they have a chance to reach their potential.
