We want everyone to know that we're not going to exclude anyone. We want a diverse school.

A basic aspect of our program is to get you a GED or high school diploma if you don't have one. The first thing we'll do when you come to us is to enroll you in a school.

It's another option that you can offer to children and families. I think that's a positive for the community, to have multiple options for kids.

We're not selling the need for the high school. We're selling the credibility of the project itself ... which has taken a tremendous beating in the past.

Adults are our role models and should not be smoking on our school grounds where we see it and breathe it.

I wasn't hugely popular at school. In fact, I was bullied at school.
