See What Our Youth Have Achieved and Get Inspired to Reach Your Own Goals

It was a pleasure to have Mr. Richard Celestin speak with my staff about the court involved young people. Unfortunately, we have many court-involved students and we want to best support them and their families. On our end of year Professional Development Day, he met with us to discuss how many of our young people end up in the court system and some of the challenges that they may face. He eloquently took the time to explain the terminology and answered all questions from our staff. As a result of that conversation we are hoping to get our young people in his debate program. Mr. Celestin can be an asset to our school community and a role model to our young men; by letting them know that you too can change the trajectory of your life by holding on to your goals and believing in yourself.
