Springtime student success reminds us that graduation represents a new beginning for our students. We have several graduates just around the corner and each of them is looking forward to beginning a new chapter in their lives. Crossroads students are continually making progress on their goals, in addition to building community through our restorative circles, art projects, and enrichment activities, such as working in our new garden.

Crossroads is proud to recognize the achievements of Melinda Beza as our campus Teacher of the Year. Mrs. Beza has become an integral part of our team since her return to UCISD this year. She has been an instructional leader on our campus, modeling her proficiency in designing and assessing curriculum to help our students succeed in their state assessments. She displays love and commitment to our students every day, supporting them with great empathy and pushing them to be accountable and responsible for meeting their goals. She embodies the Crossroads Academy spirt of Love at the forefront of all that we do!
