Project 180 Unleashes Student Success

A chieving a high school diploma is a crucial milestone for young adults but many students face social and emotional challenges which make it difficult for them to accomplish this goal. MSTA member Jennifer Moore has spearheaded the Project 180 program at Union High School, which allows a safe space for at-risk students to connect with each other and gain additional help with schoolwork. The program has become a beacon of hope for students, while also providing a helping paw to some furry friends. Over the past three years, Moore has worked to carefully lay a foundation of mutual respect and understanding in her classroom.
