Alternative Education
The Alternative Education coordinator, Jodi Jonas, oversees the programs for regular education students who are having difficulty in school. The GOAL program—Gaining Opportunities through Alternative Learning—is for 11th and 12th grade students who have been unsuccessful in some of the regular academic courses and are behind in credits.
