Teacher Spotlight: Charlotte Salsbury and Hemet High School

“The curriculum is so much more than 'What do you want to be when you grow up?'” Salisbury said. “It provides opportunities for the student to consider options and follow through with a decision-making plan."

According to GreatSchools, their hard work is paying off as Hemet places higher than the California State Average in ACT and SAT college readiness and graduation rate. They also enroll 6% more students in dual enrollment courses.

Charlotte, thank you for all you do. We deeply appreciate the impact you have on students’ lives and for being a champion of the Career Choices series!
