Local grad gets opportunity of a lifetime eScholar Academy graduate Joseph Howarth is celebrating huge successes and the opportunity of a lifetime to pursue his dreams. Many of us think of our senior year in high school as a full year filled with activities, academics, friends and plans for the future. For Joseph, there was a singular focus: to graduate in time to make the deadline for acceptance at a world renowned ballet school. As a junior, he applied at many of the top ballet schools in the nation, but had his sights set on one in particular, the Joffrey Ballet School in New York City. Getting in was a longshot because official acceptance into the program hinged on Joseph being a high school graduate by Aug. 30. That meant he was going to have to buckle down and find a way to fulfill his senior year requirements in record time. He found the staff and teachers at eScholar Academy to be very accommodating in his search for a more personalized education and School celebrates Constitution Day Do you know who helped frame the Constitution?

"He was extremely motivated," said Shannon Barrow who is an admin- istrator at the school. By Aug. 30, Joseph had completed all of the required coursework — being a bit ahead to start was a big help — and was officially accepted into Joffrey Ballet School, one of only 50 students in the world to be received into the program this year. "He did it! We are so proud of him," said Barrow. This Friday, Joseph leaves for New York City where he will begin his professional ballet education at one of the most sought after institutions in the world. Students from this school have graduated and gone on to dance with world-class ballet companies, including the Joffrey Ballet, American Ballet Theater, New York City Ballet, Houston Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and other companies throughout North America and Europe.
