Through a partnership between the school district and the Department of Juvenile Justice, the facility provides essential core subjects, special education services, and literacy support. The ultimate goal of the school is to maintain a sense of educational normalcy and provide students with the necessary tools and credits to successfully transition back to their traditional home schools or alternative programs upon their release.
