(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Please disregard the above grade. I really wanted to make a statement only. My son was a student here in 2002 because of a problem he had at White House High School. I wanted to let the faculty know that what they do, does make a difference. He graduated from White House High School in 2004 and is in his third year at Austin Peay University. He already has an Associates Degree in business management. He is now working on his Bachelors degree. When he attended the school did not have funding for everything a child needed to attend college and he really had to make up some classes when he went back to public school. If I can be of any assistance in helping your school, feel free to contact me. I have been blessed but I would like to make sure that any child who wants to attend college despite their situation has an opportunity.
Sincerely,
Tamara Woodby
