My Students
My students are determined and highly intelligent. They want to make the world a better place and start every day with our school. Our high school works diligently to cultivate a culture of high academic achievement and support. As a law, science, and arts magnet, our students come from various backgrounds and cultures. Despite their differences, they work together and genuinely care about one another. They make our school a wonderful place to be.
My Project
As an English teacher, I know the importance of helping students find "the book." That book might change ther mind, change them, or change their life. With this collection of books, I can offer my students more opportunities to find the book that transforms them from reluctant readers into ravenous readers. I work with high school students (9th-12th grade) who may not read a single book in their high school career. As someone who loves and teaches the written word, this is something I want to combat with every fiber of my being. Help my students become lifelong readers.
