Our school is located in south Texas near the border of Mexico. Our student population is nearly 100% socioeconomically disadvantaged and are English Language Learners. Most of them don't have computers at home and have never used a computer before attending school. I believe these special circumstances make our students more passionate about their education and always aim to please their teachers. They realize they need to work hard to make something of themselves. At our school we foster the love of learning through mutual respect and constantly striving to give all our students the opportunity to succeed. Our school has many programs in place to keep our students moving forward such as mentoring, tutoring, family theme nights, student council, UIL, and monthly student assemblies to recognize all efforts. Our administration is directly involved with student achievement as well. You wouldn't be surprised seeing our principal in a classroom demonstrating a lesson.
