November Student Spotlight

Cheyenne is a very independent student; she likes to complete her work all by herself.  Cheyenne had a hard time asking for help or accepting help if an assignment was incorrect, but she is now doing better in that area. Cheyenne also works at the coffee cart, and we are very happy with her customer service. She is very nice to everyone and helpful with the orders. Learn more about our school today.
