Lupita Hightower, PhD

"We have not suspended a student in the last 5 years. Now that's just the framework and the belief system. There's a lot of strategy within that belief system, but it really empowers the whole team and the students to know that 'they do believe in me and there's going to be a strategy behind that' ". - Lupita Hightower, Ed.D.
