A Jam Packed 2nd Quarter to Remember
Fall break is now complete and the academic calendar ahead gets really full and exciting for Crossroads Academy students and staff. We have now had our seventh student complete their graduation requirements to date, and we have another similar sized group of potential fall graduates knocking out requirements each day. These students set weekly goals for their success each Monday with their mentor teachers. This is a practice that we rolled out week one at Crossroads, and work with our students to improve on each week, together. Together is an important word in that it describes the process at our school, whether it refers to our small group work throughout the campus, the committee meetings that analyze and build up our school, or a hug shared between a father and a son celebrating student success. Together we drive forward to becoming better citizens of the U. Our most recent graduate Fernando Juarez said it best: "this school is just amazing. All of y'all are just amazing, and you mean the world to me." We are honored to have such an amazing group of young men and women working hard to become part of our better future together.
