NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT

We were featured in the Thomas B. Fordham Institute's national publication!

Our Successes

While our graduation rates and state test scores are important, our biggest successes are our students. Seeing their faces light up when they realize they finally have a teacher who believes in them. Watching them excel in a new school full of teachers committed to their success. Cheering them on as they graduate and move on to new jobs and careers beyond our school's halls.

Some judge us only by the credits our students have earned, but we judge ourselves by the lives we help change and the life-long friendships we build.
