Alternative Learning Center

The Alternative Learning Center (ALC) is designed to provide at-risk students an alternative to the traditional high school setting. The ALC primarily offers course opportunities in the core content areas.  Project based learning design principles are utilized to engage students that have struggled to find success at their home school. There are independent learning opportunities available for students to help them recover credits and get back on track with their graduation plans.

Here are some of the many examples of our students engaged in the learning process!
