    Dean's Message:

    Dear Rockets,

    Welcome to AESM @ L'Ouverture!  Whether you are a new or continuing student, you are an important part of our school community.  Recognizing that each student comes in with their own expectations for success, my goal is to help you meet and surpass those expectations.  There will always be challenges.  However, the challenges are not meant to destroy you.  The challenges are meant to be stepping stones or building blocks that one needs to build character. I believe that with positivity, openness, and hard work, great things can happen.
