Martha Washington expressed, "I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition." We all have moments in our lives where we struggle and go through trials and tribulations, but a positive disposition or outlook is what allows us to move forward in our quest for success. We strive at ACORN Community High School to bring about change in our students lives that are productive and serve to assist them with meeting whatever challenges they will be faced with as adults. Through real-world, rigorous and collaborative instruction, as a community we work to nurture the whole child. We want our students to embark fearlessly on through their college and career paths, armored with skills in self-advocacy and good decision making. I am confident that with all stakeholders committed to meeting and exceeding the above goals, we can accomplish anything. As we empower the ACHS community to transform, “Success is the Only Option.”
