In every other instance, Muenster has pursued grant opportunities, which have led the school to become part of the National Honor Society and take more than 40 students on a Washington, D.C., field trip. “We figured out a way to do it,” she says. A majority of the students who attend the academy have either dropped out or been expelled from public schools. The academy has helped steer those students to find career opportunities in technical careers, particularly in the medical field. In previous years, Muenster woke up at 3 a.m. to pick up the seven students who could fit in her vehicle to transport them from urban Columbus to a Hilliard clinic to get hands-on experience twice a month. “She works well beyond school hours to make sure that all of her students’ needs are met, and that’s truly what captured me,” Jeltema says. “I knew she needed and deserved the classroom environment and atmosphere for her and her students.” CS Brandon Klein is an associate editor.
