The Birth of S.O.U.L.
S.O.U.L. began in 2000 as the idea of Chico High School teacher David McKay and his colleagues. It was their hope to help students in their community with navigating the struggles teens face at home, in their community and in high school. David McKay and Ken Williams met in 2006 as they collaborated with the Freedom Writers Foundation on creating teacher professional development that aligned with The Freedom Writers Diary and Methodology.
