solution. He set out to help young people avoid having to
serve time in a correctional institution or in the penal system.

certification to teach middle grades. He embarked upon his
career as an educator in 1991. He taught in elementary school
for two years and in middle school for three years. He experienced

a foundation and creating a high culture of learning for the
students in this community while instilling a renewed interest
in school spirit. His primary goal for his school is to provide
a learning environment “free of distractions, free of disruptions,
and providing teachers an opportunity to teach and maximize
on the students’ opportunities to learn. He strongly encourages
students to work far beyond expectations and excel in the
areas of standardized tests and academic achievement. Above
all, he stresses character and self-motivation as viable tools
to achieve personal success. As a result of his success at
Miller Grove, Dr. Simpson has most recently been appointed
