"“I am very thankful that [the Accelerator Project accepted me for PLATO] this summer because if I didn’t [enroll] I would not be a full senior. PLATO helped me in every way possible. I’ve learned so much from PLATO that I did not learn in regular school. So I thank Mr. Kolman, Ms. Simmons and Dr. Epps for allowing me to attend this program.” – English 11 (Credit Recovery, Summer 2011)"
