My students are The amazing 8th grade promoting class in San Bernardino, California! Our school is deep in the urban center of San Bernardino. We are a progressive school, devoted to educating students for their future and for better lives. Despite coming from a vastly low income, urban area, they are excited about their education and enthusiastic about their futures. My kids are amazing. They have worked hard all school year under the strain of new standards, increased rigor, and the challenge of coping with me, an ex correctional officer turned happy educator. These kids are so dedicated to our class, our school and their education. I could not ask for better classes or better students. My kids are amazing!
