Our Mission
We believe that through teaching and learning, we have the opportunity to impact and positively change the lives of our students. We believe that all students are capable of defining and experiencing success, ultimately building confidence in themselves while instilling a spirit of generosity, drive, passion, and focus. We work in collaboration with San Jacinto College to help at-risk students attain college credit with the aspiration of earning an Associate’s Degree and Distinguished High School diploma in four years.
"Opportunity"
So how does this relate to our work and our students? To some degree, each of us have had experiences and opportunities that have been afforded to us that we wish to share and help students attain for themselves. For many of our students, the opportunity to better themselves through education is why they chose (or their families) to be with us. We are here to ensure that we fulfill our duty of providing the opportunity to move forward by removing obstacles, building confidence, and imparting knowledge to our students so that they may have a better future for themselves. We will not be along their journey, but my hope is that our work and lessons will.
