"That’s why TeachRock is important, you know, we're burned out. We need a new path to kind of keep things going, that’s what TeachRock is"

"I’m not a ‘school’ person–I kind of hate it. I love music, art, and theater, but I have a hard time in all my regular classes. But this class lets me use the things I love to learn the things I’m expected to.”
Student
Mountain Vista High School | Highlands Ranch, CO
