“The Dual Enrollment program at Santa Fe College is one of the happiest places on earth for me. I’m currently reading, I am Malala for Mr. Poe’s honors government class. Through reading it, my capacity for understanding what it’s like for many children around the world to get an education has brought me so much gratefulness. Not only do I get a high school education, but I am lucky enough to attend college at the same time.
Being in the Dual Enrollment program challenges me and has pushed me to grow. The best thing about it is the atmosphere I am immersed in every day. All around me are kids who want to learn and that is so inspiring.” - India Blanchard, GHS/SF student
