How Long She Attended Fusion
All four years of high school
Kate has struggled with anxiety her entire life. She also has to constantly manage her Type 1 Diabetes.
She started at Fusion Academy Austin her freshman year.
“You can come to your teachers as a mentor, as someone who can give you legitimate guidance.”- Kate
Beyond learning in the one-to-one environment, Kate appreciated how teachers are there for you, no matter what you’re going through.
“Kate was one of my first students here. She is so bright, so smart, and so creative.” – Kelsey Johnson, Kate’s teacher/mentor
Kate graduated from Fusion Academy Austin in May of 2019.
“Back when I was a freshman, I didn’t even know if I was going to graduate high school….but hey, I’m here now…things are possible” – Kate
