Brandon, High School Student

"Where to start, Mrs. Fernandez, your class was one of the best classes I've taken both at SMASH and at other schools. Your class was very fun and at the same time very informative. I appreciate all of the materials and information you taught us in the short 5 weeks."

Byron B, High School Student

"I liked learning about dining etiquette and financial success. Your class was great! I enjoyed every day in your class."

"This has been one of the most amazing learning experiences for me and my peers! We never had any teacher who gave us all of the information provided in your business etiquette class, which by the way, is practically an awesome investment in our future."

Testimonials from Former Students

Students often experience a myriad of obstacles in learning due mostly to overwhelming issues and problems faced at home or in their communities.

Imagine understands the difficulties students confront on a daily basis and thereby created two extraordinary programs to assist with struggles in behavior, academics, attendance, bullying, and social consciousness.

These are the students who completed Imagine's Leadership, Life Skills & Empowerment programs.
