My Project

We are a continuation school in the Bay Area. Despite our name, we are focused on the sunrise of our students' futures not the sunset of their past. Unfortunately, the books and materials in our College & Career Center have definitely had their sunset LONG ago- many books dating back to the 90's!

Current college and career readiness books will allow my students to navigate the college process and foster career exploration.

Teaching them how to develop a growth mindset to navigate the future ahead.

Ms. Murphy
Grades 9-12
