My students are bright, imaginative, and inquisitive. Each day I see countless examples of their love for learning and genuine desire to be challenged and inspired. As a music and arts school, we pride ourselves on the levels of creativity and individuality embraced by our students inside and outside the classroom walls. My students are predominantly African-American and Latino, and they come from some of the most violent and impoverished neighborhoods in our state. They are exceptionally brave in expressing themselves and are highly active and informed members of their community. Most of my students will be the first in their families to attend college and as such, are poignantly aware and protective of the value of learning and higher education. They are resilient, compassionate, full of life, laughter and courage. I am so lucky to spend my days with them.
