School Spotlight: Success Teacher Robin Felix Explains Why Students Need This Course

Springs Charter School goes above and beyond to provide students with the resources necessary to be successful as they prepare for their future. Robin Felix explains why starting to take this course as a freshman is essential.  

“The freshmen need to take this class because it really sets them on a trajectory for their CTE courses. What are they going to be taking? How are they going to build their resume?” Felix says. “I like the fact that it's not always pushing for college. ‘Oh, I have to go to college, I have to go to college,’ No! There's so many other options for their college and career path.”

River Springs High School has won multiple Career Choices medals and continues to utilize the curriculum at the highest level.
