The Alternative High School provides an opportunity for students to complete requirements for graduation in a non-traditional classroom. Various class sessions are held throughout the day to accommodate individual work and family schedules. Students work at a pace that meets their individual needs to complete academic credits as outlined by the home school district. Success and achievement is measured through the completion of assignments, unit tests and a final examination for each course. The ultimate reward is a traditional high school diploma from the home school.
