Lea O'Connor: A Student Success Story

Lea O'Connor, pictured here with mom Rosalee and PACE teacher Meg Spink, will soon graduate from high school. She recently shared her excitement about the PACE program with our staff:

"I appreciate PACE because it allowed me the freedom to work when my mind was focused. I would normally work for a couple of hours in the evening. Some days I could accomplish five lessons while other days I would limit my work to only one or two. PACE has helped me to graduate a year earlier than I anticipated. I have already recommended PACE to other students who want an extra challenge. My mom says that PACE is a great resource for students with dyslexia, like me, and I agree. I might not have made it without the support of this program.I am now college bound and look forward to majoring in Elementary Special Education.
