Today has been a long awaited day for Trevor. This school year brings new and exciting changes and challanges for him. He will be attending a new school (once again!). This year, he is going to The Military and Global Leadership Academy in Charlotte.
The Military and Global Leadership Academy is a new school that is opening this year. The following is a brief description taken from their website (http://pages.cms.k12.nc.us/mgla/):
The school is grades 6-10. The academy will grow a grade a year, graduating its first senior class in 2011. The new Military & Global Leadership Academy will offer rigorous advanced placement and honors classes to prepare students for college. Students also will be provided with structure to foster positive attitudes, teamwork, responsibility and sound decision making.
