I teach in a small urban school with just under 300 students in grades 9-12. Our school is located in a high poverty area in Wisconsin- over 90% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch. Our mission is to graduate critical thinkers and self-directed learners prepared for success in college, meaningful careers, community involvement, and family life. We envision students achieving proficiency in scientific inquiry, creative discovery, and constructive problem-solving; professional-level skills in the uses of 21st century technology; and admission to colleges that will enable them to become civic leaders, authors, artists, scientists, teachers, doctors, or successful in any other family- and community- sustaining career.
