Students Prepared for Life
If you visit any of our schools, particularly the ones with high schools, you’ll notice a difference.
One thing that still surprises me are the juniors and seniors I meet when I visit schools. School to school, state to state, wherever I go, the students stand out. I can have a conversation with them about important things, deeper things, right in the hallway or the school cafeteria. They’re confident, and polite. They cheerfully greet me in the hallways. They think. They’re the kind of kids I want my own children to become.
