Our school is frequently tagged as gangs mark their territory. Our students also come from high poverty areas. Many parents work several jobs simply to make ends meet. Our students achieve despite these hardships. We have been an AVID national demonstration school. Along with our feeder high school, we are the only middle and high school AVID demonstration school in Orange County. We have also received the Title I Academic Achievement Award. Our Unified School District was one of the recipients for the Broad Foundation Award. Despite these awards, there is no funding for a music program. Despite their rough backgrounds, my students attend school every day and care about their learning. Music is a way for them to express themselves. Through music, they escape their gang neighborhoods. My classroom is a safe haven where turf wars and criminal activity doesn't exist.
