| 🔦 Student Spotlight Welcome to our Student Spotlight where we highlight some of our amazing Sage Oak high school students and their accomplishments in and outside of the classroom!  Diana Lopez, Sage Oak 11th grader, was inspired in Child Development 1 last year. As a result, this year she has enrolled in Early Childhood Development at her local community college while also taking Child Development 2 through Sage Oak! “My favorite part of class is when we learn about children’s characteristics and why they behave like they do!” says Lopez. “I also love how we discuss the milestones they overcome. It really makes me appreciate them.” Sage Oak’s model has allowed Diana more flexibility and easier access to community college courses to pursue her new passion! We can’t wait to see where your passion leads you next, Diana! |
