The Project ’79 team is made up of a dedicated staff whose priority is to teach the whole child. Each member of the team brings a unique perspective, set of skills, and professional experience to the program. By working collaboratively, the team supports students not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. Our goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to grow as thinkers, writers, and individuals, while developing the confidence and skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.
