My Students

We are the premier high school for students seeking an alternative environment to earn a high school diploma and productive skill sets for life. Our students do require additional motivation to be successful.They are passionate, hungry for knowledge, curious, creative, funny, seeking guidance, and kind students that need support in communication, working independently, processing information, and building good relationships.

The students are eagerer to learn, career focused and ready to grow professionally.

Our student know the value of having a great education and believe that it is the foundation of success.

My Project

Digital art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. Students will learn how to draw digitally on these iPads. Students will also be able to take pictures and edit photos using this device. The iPad also offers various digital editing apps that will allow students to enhance their technical skill level in working with applications.

This will allow students to be comfortable with using technology to complete their assignment and to obtain professional experiences using industry standard applications.

Students will be able to design/create digital art work for school art exhibition. Students will be required to create a digital piece of art and provide a literary explanation for their artwork.

Students will also be able to use iPad as an outlet to destress when feeling overwhelmed during the school day. SEL is a big part of our school curriculum and the iPad will give students a creative way to express their emotions artistically .
