Jackson is an exceptional student in my Criminal Law course. He is motivated, works hard, and shows enthusiasm for the topic. Thanks for all your hard work this semester, Jackson.

MARGARET MUCKLOW

Maggie is a hard-working student who excels in Civics and Government. She is enthusiastic, asks great questions, and brings a lot of energy to my first-period class. I also feel like she would yell at me if I did not choose her.
