Maverick Student Success Stories

Problem Solution

Problem: “Unfortunately, I come from a large family with a lot of medical bills, and my parents rely on me for financial support. I felt my life was over with many responsibilities and no hopes of getting an education as was unable to work, attend school full time, keep up grades/homework, and take care of my family.”

Solution: “Mavericks offered the perfect solution! They offered a 5 hour school day with flexible morning and evening schedules in order to attain my high school degree. I was able to work during the day to continue supporting my family and attend school in the evenings, as well as complete assignments online from home and graduate earlier than I anticipated.” Adonia G.

Problem: “I found myself as a single pregnant teen with no support from my family, school leaders, or friends; combined with continued peer pressure from my current school with no future, or means to support myself or my baby, and a dead end career with no education.”

Solution: “Mavericks offered small classrooms with a safe family-like environment which was ideal. The flexible school schedule allowed me to continue working part time and attend my doctor visits, no peer pressure, with continued support from teachers and counselors, and best of all was able to graduate after my daughter was born and they even offered assistance with day care. I am now on my way working towards my college degree with a bright future, thanks to Mavericks!” Keisha S.

Problem: “Due to my circumstances, I did not have enough credits to graduate and the harder I tried the more I felt behind, feeling like the biggest loser with no future!”

Solution: “Mavericks was an answer to my prayers! They offered continued support working your way through each level with incentives and mentoring. I was able to get the credits I needed and will graduate this June!” Alano P.

Testimonials from Students – Why Mavericks?

Joseph K. 17

Joseph had trouble staying focused in a traditional classroom. Joseph already is earning credits at a fast pace and enjoying the challenge and one-on-one attention he receives at Mavericks. He’s also logging required community service hours as a volunteer at the school. “I’ve already earned credits in just the first few weeks of school,” he said. “That motivates me to work even harder.” Joseph hopes to pursue a career in architecture or the culinary arts.

Nick P. 15

Nick loves the freedom of going at his own pace. “I’m learning and I’m not bored,” said the oldest of four kids who plans to become a member of the Coast Guard some day.

Bianca M. 21

Bianca only needs a few more credits to graduate and move on to college and her dream to become a child psychologist. Graduation is right around the corner for Bianca who has had trouble with motivation at school in the past. She will earn her diploma in December. “The smaller classes and individual attention have given me the environment I need to succeed,” she said.

Michelle P. 15

When Michelle 15, finished ninth grade at the Osceola County School for the Arts, she knew her neighborhood high school wouldn’t be a good fit for her. With less than stellar grades, Michelle admits that she needs more one-on-one attention and a curriculum that fits her own individual skill level. In traditional school she found herself slacking off and falling behind when she didn’t understand the material.

At Mavericks High, she knows she’ll get the assistance and focus she needs. “The bright cheery colors alone will keep me from falling asleep and will motivate me,” she said about the school. “The shorter, five-hour day will be less stressful and the one-on-one tutoring will help me understand better.”

She is especially excited about the computer-based training, as she says it will keep her centered, on task and on time. “Everything done on a computer guarantees that I’ll never slack off and will actually turn my work in on time,” she added.
