interests.“When we emerged out of this, we wanted something that was going to look different and serve kids differently,” she adds. THE ACADEMIES OF DANBURY Danbury High School’s transformation into a “wall-towall” academy model is designed to provide students with tailored educational experiences that integrate both academic learning and career preparation.The initiative builds on the earlier Danbury Early College Opportunity (DECO) program, where students could earn an associate degree while still in high school. The academies represent a more accessible approach, preparing students for a wide range of career pathways while still offering flexibility as they explore and learn about themselves. In the words of Dr. Casimiro,“It’s not about being a technical college or just simply college prep. It’s really creating this multi-dimensional student that is able to pivot and go in different directions upon graduation.” 391 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 10 DANBURY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
