This is the first year that Project SUCCESS is going to be at Patrick Henry High School. My name is Laura Garcia. I am new to Project SUCCESS this year and am ecstatic about working with such a great high school. This Web site will give you information on theater events, college tours and everything else that has to do with Project SUCCESS/Patrick Henry.

Project SUCCESS is passionate about inspiring students to imagine their life and their dreams and then help them take action and make their dreams a reality. I believe that this year is going to be an extraordinary one.

You each will get a chance to see theater FOR FREE! WOOHOO! And use this art form as a way to learn about goals and dreams and self discovery. I believe that you all can succeed in whatever it is you want to do in your life, and that is why I will work hard to help you along your journey.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at laurag@projectsuccess.org.

Project SUCCESS is thrilled to be serving the students, staff and parents of Patrick Henry High School. This new partnership is part of an initiative to expand into 5 new Minneapolis Public High Schools and Middle Schools and 2 new St. Paul Middle Schools.

At Patrick Henry, Project SUCCESS offers the following programming:

• in-class, goal-setting workshops;
• opportunities for each student and their family to attend between six and twelve free theater events at 29 area theaters; and
• all-school fieldtrips.

We think that our namesake, Patrick Henry, would be proud of the patriotism and the scholarship at our Patrick Henry High School.

We would like to invite you to our campus in the heart of the beautiful Camden/Victory neighborhood in Minneapolis. Our students come to us from a variety of cultural backgrounds, speaking 16 different languages. However, at Patrick Henry we all speak a common language of working together to succeed.

Patrick Henry was established in 1925. Our stability and traditions have deep roots into the community. Brothers Jordan '09 and Justin Luoma '10 are the fourth generation of their family to attend Patrick Henry.  Our alumni are everywhere and they are gracious with their time and resources to our school and our students.

Patrick Henry is nationally renowned for our:

• Professional Practice School, a model of Patrick Henry teachers teaching teachers and partnering with the U of MN to share best teaching practices
• School leadership model named among top 100 national innovations in American Government by Harvard University
• Experienced teachers--We have more National Board Certified Teachers than any other school in Minnesota.
