Our Mission

Utilize innovative and customized methods of instruction to engage students in meaningful learning, resulting in gainfully employed, productive citizens of our community.

How Options Began

In 2011, a diverse team of district employees came together is search of a program to assist students at risk of not graduating. After visiting several other district that have implemented similar successful programs, OPTIONS came to life. The goal is to prepare and develop students into productive citizens while preparing them for their future. We sincerely hope you will consider this program as an option.

Who is it for?

OPTIONS is for anyone who:

  • lacks high school credits

  • is considering quitting school

  • has already dropped out

  • was not successful in a traditional high school setting

  • has let outside influences affect their education

How it works
