My students are full of life and personality. Each one of them has a unique personality and life experiences that shape how they approach school and learning.
Our middle school started in 2001 and expanded to include a high school in 2005. Our student body is 85% African-American, with 85% being eligible for free/reduced-price lunch. In 2002-03, we were named the sixth highest performing school in the entire state of NC out of 2,219 schools. By 2005, 97% of our students were performing at or above grade level according to NC state tests, and from 2009-11, 100% of our high school seniors were accepted to college - 85% of these students will be first generation college graduates. In 2010, our school was named "One of the Best" high schools in America by Newsweek magazine. Our students are guided by the philosophy that "we learn not for school, but for life." We believe education is the most powerful weapon we have to fight for social justice.
