My Project
This is a alternative school that serves students who have been temporarily reassigned from their home schools due to behavioral or disciplinary issues. While here, students receive instruction, counseling, and the support they need to reflect, grow, and reintegrate successfully in their home school. We strive to create a supportive, structured, and safe environment. We are asking for supplies for incentives for positive behavior, things for creative outlets, and items for activities the students can do independently.
With your support, we will be able to rebuild students' confidence, help them learn from mistakes, and encourage them to develop healthy coping skills.
Help us show these students that one mistake doesn't define their future.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
