Sinopsis

Forty-two teenage men and women, all wearing camouflage Army uniforms, standing in columns with their platoons, as the American flag is being raised. áMany of their uniforms displayed medals for outstanding achievement. áAll of them proud of what they represented - the Alder Grove Academy.They came from most of Placer County',s high schools and junior high. áEven though they each had their own story, they were either arrested and placed on probation and/or suspended or expelled and sent to the Academy as their last shot at turning their lives around. áMost of these at-risk students hated school and their truancy had resulted in credit deficiences. áOthers had rebelled against authority figues at their school. áSome had alcohol and drug use problems that furthered their downward spiral.At the Alder Grove Academy they would come face to face with a retired police sergeant who prided himself as an Old School teacher. áThey would be entering a school that operated onáorder, structureáandádiscipline. áThere were no victims in the Academy. áFor many, this would be the hardest academic and physical school they had ever attended. áIn partnership with the U.S. Army, they would slowly become a familiy, learning that their choices from here on out, depended on whether they had reached rock bottomáand sincerely want to change.They offer their stories in hopes of turning at least one at-risk student around like they did.
