About the Program

 

The Continuing Education Program (CEP) is a computer-based educational program designed for students who have been unsuccessful in the traditional high school setting. Student participants can work at their own pace to earn credits. The program is staffed by one certified teacher and one teacher assistant.

 

Vision

 

We will create an environment where students are inspired to improve their academics, attendance, and character. We want 100% of our students to fulfill their goals of earning a high school diploma or certificate and ensuring post-secondary success.
