Five years ago, I made the choice to move to a Title 1 school where more than 80% of the student body receive free or reduced lunch each day. My students are hardworking, determined risk takers faced with unimaginable challenges in their home lives. At times school is their only safe predictable place and still they come to school to work, ready to perform with no excuses. Four years ago our school improvement rating went from the lowest rating Colorado has "turnaround" to improvement. In one year, the dedicated and talented staff of professional educators that I am privileged to work beside helped the student body go from apathetic about school to focused and committed learners.
