We are a nontraditional high school specializing in transition services for our students.  We offer a unique high school program with emphasis on preparing our students for life after high school.  It is from this emphasis that we adopted our student motto,

"Learning Today for a Better Tomorrow "

and our staff theme,

"Moving Up, Moving On, and Moving Out"
