Theresea Wickstrom, mother
of FSPA Academy rising junior
Susauna Wickstrom says, “It is a
sigh of relief to have a designated
space for my daughter. It promotes
the importance of school,
getting out of the home, and
it keeps a routine going. She’s
coming to a place that’s safe,
not just physically, but emotionally.”
They also benefit from the
larger student body of FSPA and
participate in social activities including
student productions and
the annual Prom. FSPA Director
Raye Lynn Mercer comments,
“A lot of students are looking
for academic alternatives, and
these 11 students are here for 11
unique reasons.”
