High School And Academic Programs

A successful career is possible in many ways but fulfillment and happiness come with education.

High School and Academic Programs
Courses in the academic programs help students improve basic skills, and/or earn a high school equivalency certificate or complete a high school diploma.
Earning a high school diploma or high school equivalency certificate can open doors for future employment and provide students with the skills and confidence to pursue bigger goals. Our certificated academic teachers are committed to ensuring that students master college and career readiness skills including critical thinking; problem solving; and reading, writing, and speaking effectively.
For all academic courses, orientation is required as a first step. An assessment and academic advising appointment ensure that students are enrolled in courses that meet their needs and support them in achieving their goals.

Academic programs are FREE and designed to assist students in meeting college and career goals. Students can:

• complete a high school diploma
• prepare for high school equivalency, TEAS, ASVAB, or other entrance exams;
• improve reading, writing, and math skills for success in workplace or college.

Many classes are designed to encourage co-enrollment in CTE programs, college classes, or other workforce preparation programs for students who want to accelerate progress toward their goals.
