My Students

I am committed to the mission to close the achievement gap by preparing all students for college readiness and success in a global society. At our school we believe that every student has what is takes to create the future of their dreams. However, being a title 1 school our students have the odds against them. Their families are unable to provide the necessities like paper, pencils, binders, etc. Our students are going big places, with big dreams, they just need resources to help them get there.

My Project

Our school is an AVID Site of Distinction. We prepare students with the skills needed for college and career success. We use a 3" school wide binder for every student. However, most of our students can't afford school supplies as we are a Title 1 district, which means the majority of our students live below the poverty line. The 3" binder is used to organize the materials from each of their 7 periods throughout the day. The use of our binder system is to prepare students with the skill of organization as well as reduce the number of missing assignments.
