The Adult High School program is particularly beneficial to students who have some previous high school credits. These credits in addition to other credits awarded for life experience in areas such as employment, apprentice training, military training, and college courses will give the students a strong base from which to work toward the completion of the State and District graduation requirements.

Most classes are held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings and meet once a week in three possible settings: lecture, individualized instruction, or independent study. In addition, some daytime classes are available.

Our attendance policy requires students to attend at least 10 sessions of each scheduled class in order to receive credit. Special cases will be reviewed individually by a credit appeals commitee. If a student misses thirty days without a written excuse, he/she will be dropped from the rolls.
