Both students have successfully completed the program, demonstrating remarkable perseverance and dedication to their education.
The ALC offers a flexible pathway for students to overcome personal challenges and achieve their academic goals. This program allows students to take ownership of their education and work at a pace that best suits their unique needs within a learning environment designed to meet students where they are, optimizing individual growth.
“Landyn and Karen are powerful examples of what can be achieved through perseverance, adaptability, and unwavering dedication to one's educational journey,” said Dr. Jared Smith, Principal of the H.H.
