Mr. Gomez also created the Academic Recovery Program, which is intended to motivate freshmen and sophomores with GPAs lower than 2.25. Students are identified as either on Academic Probation (GPA between 1.99-0.00) or in Jeopardy and Recovery (GPA between 2.25 -2.00). Furthermore, this program is designed with many different interactive components with the intent of motivating the largest percentage of students.
