About me: New Horizons is a program based in Durham, NC that works with middle and high school students who have been suspended 365, long term suspension, or dropped out of public schools. We are a non-profit program in partnership with Durham Public Schools and various supporters and sponsors. It is a small school setting with an extra touch of discipline, love, and high academic standards where our motto is,"failure is not an option".
Many of our students come with various issues, such as behavior problems, academic issues, hard home situations, etc. You name it, we've seen it.
The staff is a hand picked group of individuals dedicated to turning young lives around and sending them on more positive and more productive paths.THIS PAGE IS MANAGED BY STUDENTS AND STAFF OF NEW HORIZONS.
Who I'd like to meet: Our mission: To provide a sanctuary of hope where self-destructive young people can transform themselves into productive members of our community armed with skills needed to succeed.

As an advocate for many years I try to bring awareness of the issues that the youth in our country have to face. I've done this through my speaking engagements and now my book Runaway. I'm so happy to befriend others who share the same concerns and make efforts towards helping young adults as I do.
