A Legacy of Leadership
One of the most notable programs that he has worked on is supporting both Seattle Public Schools and Seattle University in developing an alternative high school. The school was located on a college campus for youth that had individualized needs and interests. The students needs could not be met by the comprehensive school system. The alternative school supported students in regaining credits and preparing for post-secondary education. Also, a major element of the school was Friday Adventure Based Leadership program. The program provided a diverse population of students the opportunity to engage in outdoor education, leadership, and much more.
