the quest for academic excellence, and, most important of all, the building of character."

"I realized then that when a person goes through a terrible experience, one of three things can happen. He can become embittered by it and be angry; can be defeated by it and be depressed; or can learn from it and grow. Growing from pain is definitely the hardest route to follow, and it is the one I chose." ~ Rafe Esquith, Author of There Are No Shortcuts and the winner of the American Teacher Award
