Edward Beckett was a drop out. He went through life moving from one dead end job to another. He left his native Florida and moved to New York in pursuit of a better life. Thats when he realised he wanted to go back to school. This was not as easy as Edward thought.
After being turned away by every school he applied to because of his lack of education and his age. Edward decided to open his own school. He figured there must be others in the same situation as him. He founded Beckett's School in 1951. Sadly, Edward passed away three years later but his school is still going strong and offering drop outs of all ages the chance he was never given
Come and get a second chance
