My Students

All of my students want something more for their lives, but few of them know how to have a plan for success or what goes into being a successful person.

My school is perhaps the most diverse school you will ever find.

Although a small school, there are over thirty nationalities represented. They also range widely in economic status. Yet they are extremely tolerant and have learned to accept and care for one another.

My Project

Outliers will get my students discussing their choices after they graduate. They will begin to understand that whether or not they make their mark on their world is very much up to them and is not something they are just either born with, or not born with.

Many of my students feel that their lives have already been decided and they see few options in their future.

They need to know that hard work can and does by pay off, by looking at others who achieved great things.
