What We Do: Win. Everyday.

TSDE Course is a one-half high school credit. After completing the TSDE course, students should be able to: show improvement in speed and accuracy of touch-typing skills, as they strive to key at least 39 words per minute with 98% accuracy without looking at their hands; and produce and format error-free business documents such as letters, memos, email, tables, and reports.

The second half credit course is Dollars & Sense in the fall. In the Dollars & Sense course, students learn  banking basics and smart consumer skills​; learn how to distinguish between needs and wants and how to budget for both​; and learn about responsible borrowing habits with loans and credit cards​.

We never have homework (unless a student is far behind). I want to see  my students working during class.

Both courses are project-based learning​.
