Not every student will be a leader.
Not every student will graduate from high school.
Not every student will go to college.
Your child IS NOT every student.

Always invest in the long term---Warren Buffet

As your son/daughter's facilitator, my goal is that a minimum of 80% of my students graduate from high school and 50% or more attend college. 

The college bound must work hard to get there.

As for the other 50%, I expect them to go to trade or technical schools of their choice or become self-sufficient, productive, law-abiding “literate” citizens.  

Some may be small business owners, a few may be entrepreneurs, and others may decide to further their education later in life. ..

The path your son/daughter chooses may not be what we (parents and teacher) want however we CAN give them a stronger foundation to build their future on. (Let's face it, some students will choose the school of hard knocks or take detours, despite all of our best efforts). 

Our task is to give them a "GPS" so that they will eventually follow paths to success.

UTILIZE this page and this blog site to help your child succeed throughout his/her high school experience.  It will be continuously updated so check back often for the latest updates!
