Face to Face Academy

Tom Hoey: This school literally saves lives. Face to Face's mission is to educate at risk youth that mainstream schools have given up on. Virtually every student has a history and a home background that would break your heart. Every kid they graduate is a success story. Every teacher at the Academy deserves to be acknowledged as a hero/heroine.
