My Students

We believe in creating an environment in which our students excel. My students continually rise to the challenge and face them head on. We believe in building a better future for all through constructive positive initiative.

We are constantly looking for opportunities for our students to take charge of their future through community action and involvement.

As a community we see the importance of non-traditional programs and other alternatives to athletic based programs. We strive to create a place for EVERY student to feel like they belong.

My Project

Having an adapted space, our theater space has areas that are much higher than a normal classroom. Our program is committed to allowing the students to create and build as many things on their own as possible.

Having a ladder that is created with safety in mind first is the best option for keeping my students safe while allowing them to practice their skills and craft.

Having had our last ladder disappear, the need for a replacement is a priority that is at the top of our list. Safety will always come first in our program, and is vital to our continued success as a program in teaching vital skills.
