When Anthony Griffin first arrived at Fusion Charter School, he admitted that he didn’t have any hope for graduating. Unbeknownst to him was that only a few years later he would be speaking as the 12th grade speaker in front of the the school’s first graduating class.
During his speech, Griffin spoke about his appreciation for the teachers at his school, including how they “talked to him and not at him,” the advice they gave, and most importantly, the fact that they never gave up on him. “That’s the type of school that we have. We have a school where the teachers care,” said Griffin. Fusion Charter is an independent charter school under the partnership of Aspiranet and Turlock Unified School District. The school provides a unique educational opportunity for at-risk students in grades 7 through 12 who live in Stanislaus and Merced County, California. This post was adapted from an article in the Turlock Journal by Alysson Aredas. Read more about Fusion Charter School in the article here.
