— filed under: ,

I am the director of Kingfisher and I've been with the school since its very inception. I always knew that I wanted and needed to work at a small community-based school and Kingfisher is the embodiment of that desire. I am very enthusiastic about our new site and our current school year. We are networking with a few other small schools and I am working with a new charter high school that has exciting plans that might include some of the older students in our school. We have modest goals for each quarter, but this year our goal is much larger. We have already attained provisional accreditation and are now working toward full accreditation from GAC to validate our coursework. We are also codifying the board of directors and reviewing our legal paperwork and insurance paperwork in preparation for writing some larger grants to support our art, music, and science programs. Kingfisher is a wonderful and challenging environment and we intend to keep it that way.
