My Students

Our students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with over 70% of our students receiving free lunch. Our school is also one of the most ethnically diverse schools in Nashville. Students speak a multitude of languages including English, Spanish, Nepali, Kurdish, Bengali, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Arabic. As diverse as our students are economically and culturally, they are diverse in their academics. Our school is home to the Academies of Nashville program in our city. Our students chose an Academy of focus (Architecture, Health, Law, or Arts & Communication) where they learn career skills in their chosen field and have the opportunity to graduate high school with a professional certificate that will help them secure living wage jobs upon graduating. This helps students find ways to pay for their some of their college expenses as the cost of higher education continues to rise.

I have the honor and privilege of working with some of the most amazing students in our city.

My hope is that together we can all contribute to providing them with a liberating educational experience that propels them to success post high school. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

One Love,

C. George

My Project

My students need eight boxes of multi colored folders to help them learn key organization skills to be successful in and outside of school. Organization is crucial skill for students to develop to be successful in and outside of school in the 21st Century. Unfortunately little time is devoted to directly teaching students strategies and skills for becoming organized professionals. We will begin focusing on some basic skills of organization with folders and move to more complex modes of organization.

These folders and dividers will be used daily to help my students develop into the organized professionals I know they can be.

We will use these materials to collect and organize key primary source documents and resources needed to help them pass the Tennessee end of course exam in U.S. History.
