Moriah's old school wasn't a fit for her... she hated it. When she came to Winfree, she wasn't ready to be successful. Drugs, emotions, and other distractions kept her from being successful in her coursework. But Moriah never gave up. She returned to school this year determined that she was going to graduate. Honesty, vulnerability, and trust in staff helped her to be successful this year. We are so proud and grateful for you Moriah! …


Karla had so many absences at her previous school that she was going to have to go to summer school or repeat the year. So...she came to Winfree.

You make us proud. …

Daniel never liked school…it wasn’t for him. He roamed the halls, stood up a lot, and ran around the class. He visited the office frequently. After he found that Winfree Academy-Irving was his home, he trusted the process and the staff. This year he visited the office for advice and guidance. With the support of the Irving educators, he graduated a full year early. He is loved and will be missed. Good luck Daniel, we’re so proud of you! …
