Our school serves school students grades 7 through 12 and is located one block from City Hall. Students live in many areas of the city. For the most at-risk students, those with habitual truancy, significant behavior issues, and histories of suspension and expulsion, the goal is to change behavior so that these students will stay in school and earn enough credits to graduate.
This year we are creating a series of classes for "life skills" where students can choose projects and activities that include history, science, literacy, and art!
My Project
Our students need social-emotional resources in addition to academic programs. This year, we have a variety of life skills activities.
The Sisters Project will give our young African American high school students many opportunities to learn about African/African American culture & history, to work with school & community leaders & elders & to learn healthy ways to communicate & contribute to their community.
During this program, these young women will develop awareness & skills for healthy relationships. As they view & discuss books about African American women, students will learn more about the struggles & achievements of strong African Americans.
As they talk together about these books, students will begin to recognize their own strengths, skills & abilities. As part of this program, students will also plan & participate in community activism.
