The Bad Kids

On a remote patch of the Mojave Desert, amidst dusty tumbleweeds and rangy Joshua Trees, sits an anomaly: a high school where educators believe empathy, life skills, and the constancy of a caring adult are the differences that will give at-risk students command of their fates. On any given day, principal Vonda Viland calls kids at the crack of dawn to see if theyâ€™ll make it to school. And if they need a ride? Well, sheâ€™ll pick them up. Vonda knows each studentâ€™s challenges and coaches them tirelessly, never fostering false hopes. Her philosophy combines loving compassion with realism, and given her schoolâ€™s rising graduation rate, it seems to be working.
