Jessica Cumpf
ENGLISH TEACHER

Picture
Jessica Cumpf is a third year teacher at César Chávez Academy High School. She was elevated to the 11th grade because of the importance of the M-STEP and the SAT. With her lessons she is able to prioritize what is being taught and why and the learning outcomes expected of her students.  

One of the ways she fosters her positive student relationships is by serving as the 11th grade class moderator (she has been with the same group since they were freshman.) Ms. Cumpf is friendly and works well with her colleagues. "I'm sure there will be many students that will remember Ms. Cumpf and the positive impact she had on their high school experiences," said School Leader Juan Martinez.


Thank you for all that you do, Ms. Cumpf!

Stacey Gasporovic
ENGLISH LEAD TEACHER

Picture
Stacey Gasparovic is in her 10th year at Cesar Chavez Academy High School. Mrs. G., as she is affectionately known, is a highly valued team member in the ELA department.  She maintains excellent relationships with her students and colleagues alike. Stacey is entering her second year as the high school ELA lead teacher, and teaches 11th grade English as well as honors English. In the school’s first year administering the Scholastic Aptitude Testing (SAT), the high school’s SAT reading/writing scores for 11th grade were higher than approximately 30 other Detroit public and charter high schools.
​

This year due to teacher shortages, Mrs. Gasparovic did not hesitate to step up and sacrifice her planning period in order to teach students who needed a certified teacher. She also volunteered to present at the The Leona Group’s Teacher Institute in August 2016. "Stacey Gasparovic is a burst of energy. She maintains very strong relationships with her students, colleagues and administration. She always makes herself available to her students and is usually the first person to step up when volunteers are needed for special events," said Juan Martinez, school leader.

Ms. Sanchez has helped our seniors apply and receive more than $5 million in scholarships annually and she is responsible for our seniors submitting more than 800 college applications in 2014-2015", said school leader Juan José Martínez. Martinez added, "Ms. Sanchez has very close relationships with our students and she has helped them believe that college is possible." Serving for nine years at CCAHS, Ms. Sanchez has built many community and college relationships that benefit our students, such as a TRIO partnership with Central Michigan University and "Gear Up" with Wayne State University. She facilitates an after-school club called "Club Clue," which allows students to have experiences in different cultural locations.

Students have access to internships and education through her relationship with General Motor's Law Department, she takes students on local field trips to see the law in action, and students learn about educational, economic and political power of underrepresented communities during trips to the prestigious Damon Keith Center for Civil Rights at Wayne State University Law School.
