History
The Lift For Life Academy building once was a bank in 1903. Marshall Cohen then bought the building to start the first charter school with his goal to start a school so that kids can have a future to look up to. Lift For Life Academy opened in 1998 starting with 88 students which was led by JoAnn Perkins, the first principal. After years of believing and praying, Lift For Life eventually expanded to a high school in the year of 2008-2009.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
