Last spring, Admissions Manager Molly Tweten came up with a really good idea. Within her role at PacPrep, Molly talks with prospective families who are exploring school options, and offers ongoing support to our current cohort of students and their families. She started to notice a common thread in many of her conversations with families: many students had negative experiences at previous schools and had lower self-confidence. With this in mind, she really wanted to shift the conversation, not just for these students, but all students. She wanted every student to have a positive school experience and reframe their inner narrative about their skills. Her idea was to create one-of-a-kind Strengths-Based Certificates, or “SRC’s” for each and every PacPrep student.
