My Students
Here at my school the kids are exceptionally special. They are hard workers and come to school with the desire to learn and graduate. This school is special because it gives the kids a second chance to put themselves on the right path and graduate.

After failing and falling behind, they put themselves in a position to not fail again. Additionally I have witnessed kids become more interested in books that they see themselves in.
