(13 News) &#8211; Tucson students who dropped out of high school are doing research this week on top of a mountain.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/tucsonmovingreport.com\/?p=38\">Proper etiquette for encountering working dogs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The University of Arizona\u2019s Sky School takes students on three- or five-day science trips. One group of students in a credit recovery school traveled to Mount Lemmon.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Oscar Sanchez Reyes tried a couple of big high schools in Tucson before dropping out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt those schools, whenever I\u2019d walk through the hallway, I used to get anxious, and I used to have panic attacks, which you know \u2013 not a very ideal thing to be dealing with at school,\u201d Daniel said.<\/p>\n<p>About eight months after dropping out, he joined <i><u><b>Edge High<\/b><\/u><\/i>, a free charter school for students who need to make up credits.<\/p>\n<p>Edge High science teacher Lee Borzick said Daniel\u2019s story is not unique and that many students are struggling after the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a large number of students still dealing with social anxiety from the pandemic \u2013 mental health issues \u2013 so you see a lot of that coming to the classroom,\u201d Borzick said.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty University of Arizona graduate students lead classes at Edge High over the semester. They then took students on a four-day research trip to Mount Lemmon. Program director David Austin said students learn about light pollution, astronomy, and water resource management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really encompasses all these different areas of sciences and creates this front door for local school kids to learn about all the amazing departments and resources at the U of A,\u201d Austin said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/tucsonmovingreport.com\/?p=36\">Police: Woman dead, man critical after shooting near Peoria Safeway<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This year alone, 639 students and 79 teachers from 26 schools were able to look through the telescope at the top of Mount Lemmon and do research at the summit. Sky School is funded by grants and donations, meaning more than half of the students were able to attend the program for free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKids who never thought that they could do science, they weren\u2019t good at math, they just didn\u2019t understand it, they thought it was out of reach for them, have come up here and fallen in love with it,\u201d Austin said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more thankful for Sky School. It\u2019s just impacted my life greatly; I feel I\u2019ve become a better person from the experience. I feel I\u2019m more outgoing, more articulate, and more talkative,\u201d Daniel said.<\/p>\n<p>He is on track to graduate from high school in December.<\/p>\n<p>Sky School relies on grants and donations, so if you\u2019d like to contribute, just follow <i><u><b>this link<\/b><\/u><\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><i><u><b>Isabela Lisco<\/b><\/u><\/i><i> is a <\/i><i><u><b>Report for America<\/b><\/u><\/i><i> corpsmember covering education solutions for 13 News.
