Our Clients Say:
After struggling with learning issues since I began my school career, I cannot explain the relief that I had when Mrs. Davanzo was my teacher and counselor. When most counselors ask you a question that they know the answer to or ask you to do something, Mrs. Davanzo asks you questions about your life that are thought provoking and have purpose to them; she encourages you to think outside of the box - and this is what got me where I am today at the school I want to be at, doing what I want to do! Mrs. Davanzo trusts that if she holds her students to the upmost standards, they will meet her there.
