THE JUVENILE JUSTICE CENTER

Approximately 50 students reside at JJIC and attend school on a daily basis.  Nearly all of the students who pass through JJIC have experienced school failure—many did not attend school regularly and were suspended or expelled. Most are far behind their peers academically, and 30 to 40 percent of them have special education needs. At Travis Hill NOLA Schools, we believe it is our moral imperative not only to meet the academic needs of these students, but also to reach out to them, show them we care, and help them find a path forward by tapping into their hopes, dreams, skills, and talents.
