My Project

Our students are a fun and unique bunch of students. They have overcome major life challenges and accomplishments and now are ready to leave to go to college or whatever career they decide to go into. We have such pride at our school. With our small school, we teach those students that struggled at other schools, who would have otherwise dropped out of high school altogether. We get to see how driven and focused they are to be able to get to the point where they are able to graduate.

Something so simple as a backpack with supplies you would need whether it was in college, trade school, or other future endeavors.

A backpack filled with notebooks, mechanical pencils, pens, highlighters are the easiest, yet simplest reason way we can show our students that we care and want them to succeed as graduates

As a new teacher here, I am so incredibly thankful and proud of our students and all of their accomplishments.
