Second Chance High is a unique
educational setting that provides options for
individuals wanting to earn a high school diploma.
Academic and vocationally oriented education
programs are provided through an individualized,
student-centered approach. Programs are attentive
to the needs of a career-oriented curriculum
and are sensitive to the variety of learning
styles among students.
Participants will learn through
multi-media instructional classrooms, small groups,
community based outreach programs, and employment
opportunities. Content areas will stress individualized
education, career development, and personal growth
in a positive and caring environment.
Second Chance High staff will work
with each student to assess academic, career,
and personal needs in order to develop an individualized
learning plan. Emphasis will be placed on helping
students develop self-discipline and responsibility
similar to what would be expected of them in
a work setting. Staff will maintain and model
an orderly learning atmosphere through fair and
respectful treatment of students.
A fundamental belief of the school
is that all students are of value and that they
need guidance to find and develop the positive
qualities they possess. We understand that many
of them come to us with life circumstances that
present barriers to their success. We will
strive to be non-judgmental and to provide a
structured and supportive environment. We understand
they have histories of failures in the "traditional" educational
system. We will strive to find creative approaches
to their learning. This will enable them to experience
success and create satisfying futures.
Second Chance High services, programs, and materials are offered without
regard to race, color, sex, marital status, religion, national origin,
disability, age, political affiliation, citizenship, or belief.
