Athena's Legacy is a compelling story about the struggles of a Principal at a small private school in New Jersey. Within the first year of becoming Principal, Athena observes what she perceives as gaps in the educational curriculum. As a result, she embarks on an ambitious plan to add three new courses to the curriculum. The courses are deemed unconventional, even radical, and the novel details her efforts to implement these new courses and embed them in the standard curriculum. She faces opposition at every turn, from parents, teachers, students, and the school board. Occasionally, she finds aid in unexpected places. We follow her life, and the results of her efforts with the students over a twenty-year span. You will be transported to this small private school beginning in 1979, at a time when someone's beliefs could effectuate meaningful change in a small private school atmosphere. The premise of this novel is clever, interesting, and thought-provoking! This essential read will encourage you to reconsider the true potential and purpose of education, and how it can help develop our children.
