I learned the art that I do at Thacher. I encourage students to learn creative skills. I founded CHALK4PEACE. Thacher’s United Cultures program participated in the project for a decade. Stay mighty.

Thacher formed much of the foundation in my life. Life long friendships, work ethic and confidence to face the world all come from my time at Thacher. No place or environment is perfect, and the adversity we faced at Thacher has made our class resilient beyond the norm.
