Alternative Schools

Mission Statement

Our mission is to be the best place for our students to learn and grow. We want our students to learn the skills necessary so they may be successful wherever they choose to go. The teaching staff provides opportunities for growth through individualized teaching and behavior programs that emphasize the positive traits of each student while providing direction and feedback on areas that need to improve.

Who we serve:

Any student from one of the cooperating districts maybe be referred to the Alternative High School. The Alternative High School accepts students 14 to 21 years of age who have completed at least one semester of high school and exhibit one or more of the following criteria:

• Dropped out of high school - no longer attending the traditional school

• Exhibiting signs of truancy - absent without valid cause

• Academically behind age-appropriate grade level

• Social or discipline problems at school leading to academic failure

• Mental/Social problems leading to academic failure

• Others

As space becomes available, referred students are interviewed by staff to ensure a successful enrollment is possible. Parent/Guardian, home school staff and other involved agencies are required to at this intake interview. Accepted students are those who show a genuine desire to continue their education. These students will take responsibility for past mistakes and look positively for future success. They will be prepared to commit themselves to receiving an education. Enrollment is limited so a waiting list is maintained.

Enrollment is not guaranteed and an invitation to enroll may be revoked based on student behavior, lack of attendance or as deemed by the Principal.
