Programs & Activities
Careers Outreach Program
Careers Outreach involves identifying and facilitating career experiences outside of the classroom for our students. These experiences will include clinical experiences, cooperative education, internships, job shadowing, mentoring, service learning, community service, and student apprenticeships.
THRIVE Academy
-The THRIVE Academy is a high school credit recovery program that affords high school students the opportunity to recover credits that they were not able to earn at the comprehensive school. Our overall objective is to assist students with earning credits at an accelerated pace so that they ultimately graduate (on time) with their peers. The impacts that we would like to achieve are
1) increasing self confidence, 2) foster self efficacy, 3) capitalize on smaller class size (more 1:1 instruction), 4)build positive relationships by creating an encouraging environment, and 5) parental and community involvement.
