Our public charter school is an eclectic mix of middle and high school students working hard to overcome obstacles and achieve success regardless of their personal situations. 78% of our students qualify for free or reduced meals. We have a 0% drop-out rate and a 100% college acceptance rate. Our dedicated staff takes personal interest in helping our students succeed not only academically but socially and emotionally as well. It is our goal to produce well-balanced, productive young adults that have the tools they need to be responsible, contributing members of society. As the only full-time music teacher, I understand some students will not have the opportunity to even take an introductory Music Class, since scheduling conflicts will prevent them from doing so. To counter this hindrance, I'm sponsoring an after-school Honor Choir. Economic hardship shouldn't stifle an already depressed generation of students whose artistic scopes are narrowing with decreased arts budgets.
