Lead Guitar Class 2017-18

Students in the Lead Guitar class have been quite busy this year! In addition to lots of practice in the classroom, they played several pieces with a three-part harmony in Council, then hosted Brasil Guitar Duo and Lead Guitar founder Brad Richter for an incredible all-school performance, then took to the stage at the Children’s Museum for a Saturday event. Sky Islands graduate and classical guitar virtuoso Tony Gonzales was there as well, playing a solo piece to accompany the students.

This year, Lead Guitar said a sad goodbye to our mentor and teacher Ivar Fojas, who upon completing his PhD in music, was fortunate enough to get a job at the University of Manila in the Philippines as a classical guitar professor! Thank you for all that you have done Ivar- you will be missed!

Sky Islands is amazing because the curriculum is unlike anywhere else. It is a community that is always changing, and everyone is friendly. The teachers here are the best teachers I have had in my entire student career. I now look at the world differently than others.

I feel that the school’s messages they communicate to the students are really eye-opening, from the food we eat to the advertisements shaping us, and that we as a community can change this. I’m happy to know I’m graduating as an individual rather than a teenager clone, which would be the case at other schools.

When I first came to Sky Islands, I felt it was kind of weird because I wasn’t used to the whole idea of a school being a community, but more and more I came to the realization that this is how school should be.

Community is a huge part of Sky Islands. This school has amazing teachers, they are all fantastic, and they have taught me so much. I used to hate math more than anything because I never understood it. Now it is my favorite subject.

Sky Islands is a great place to be! Everyone is welcoming and everybody knows each other at our school. Throughout the year, we work on projects in and outside the classroom. We also learn about so many interesting topics that you don't learn about at other public schools.

My daughter graduated from Sky Islands in 2020. She studied there for 4 years of High School and it was the best decision we ever made. The curriculum there allowed her to broadened her mind and approach to more greenery and sciences. She started out very shy and and introvert and graduated more outgoing and she really bloomed at High School there. I would always refer my friends to have their students attend high school for the simple fact that they will get the education needed to go to college plus special treatment and care for each and every student.
