  Karen DeMore times at OLLU and dropped it four times. Why? He didn't want an "F" on his transcript. After meeting with a professor before and after class and on weekends, Flores passed on his fifth attempt. His success inspired him to believe every student can succeed. "I never give up on a kid," Flores says. He has taught special education in the Edgewood Independent School District. He has served as a teacher and principal at a charter school (Blessed Sacrament Academy). Over the past decade, Flores has held a variety of positions in local schools: technical assistance provider, business operations manager, principal and superintendent. Four years after founding the Henry Ford Academy, Flores left for New Frontiers. "After much prayer," he says, "I felt the need to make a move of faith. As a South Side native, New Frontiers is in many ways coming home." With the support of Segura, the CEO from OLLU, Flores is leading New Frontiers to a new frontier. In the not-too-distant future, students from non-college going families will be graduating with a high school diploma and an associate's degree. Tweet
