"Every time I have an opportunity to visit with a Chinquapin student, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be even a small part in what Chinquapin is accomplishing."

- Ethel Hutcheson, Board Member

"The idea of Chinquapin is something I will carry with me all my life. It's the idea that everyone deserves a chance at an excellent education no matter the color of their skin or their economic background. May this school always inspire people to grow and work toward improving their communities the way it has inspired me."

- Tonatzin A. Cruz, Class of 1997

"I love working at Chinquapin. The students here want to learn and value their education. Many are wise beyond their years and aren’t afraid to speak their mind in class. As a result, our discussions in history are always challenging and exciting. Most of all, I love being part of a strong, diverse community. The faculty, students, parents, and administration are all fully invested in making Chinquapin succeed. That energy makes you want to do your best, everyday."

- Liz Thornton, History Teacher
