Welcome to the web site!
On this home page, you'll be introduced to the school and its service learning program. Service learning, for those new to the concept, is an instructional strategy that blends community service with academic learning. Emphasis is placed on reflection, active student participation, and connecting curriculum to the real world.

A high-quality education is one of the most important things that we can provide a child. The service learning is an alternative educational program that serves the needs of local students grades 9-12 who are emotionally and socially challanged. All students have the potential to learn and be successful and productive members of the community. The goal is to help each student reach his or her academic, emotional and social potential. We provide a positive learning community that promotes mutual respect, fosters a sense of self-worth and enables our students to achieve their goals and objectives.
This web site is a terrific way to access the information you need about the program, as well as serving as an educational .source to implement your own program at your school.
