Education Reconnection

High School Diploma Program (year-round) 

Education Reconnection began in September 2013 with the intention of helping students overcome barriers to meet their educational goals. Since its inception, all local school districts have partnered with our program.

Education Reconnection allows students to remain enrolled in their school district while attending our program to complete their credits.  Through our partnership, we have been able to increase school graduation rates in the districts that we serve.

The ideal candidate for this program is an individual who needs to be reconnected with high school and has a desire to earn a high school diploma. Students must be between the age of 16-22 and need a flexible learning schedule.

We prioritize a personal learning plan for each student with one-on one appointments. Students have opportunities for work-based learning, employability skills, internships, apprenticeship, and much more!

"The High School Diploam Program was exactly what my teenager needed after going through an extraordinarily challenging time in their life.  My child was able to go downtown to attend class-time and received additional support from Ms. Onika and other individuals. My child felt seen by Ms.Onika in a variety of ways during their time in this program. Onika built trust with them through social and educational experiences. I regularly share with other parents whose child might be a good fit for the program. It is definitely a needed resource in our community. "

Credit Recovery (year-round) 

High school students who are behind on credits can enroll in our Credit Recovery program to get back on track for graduation.  Students are referred by their high school counselors to enroll in this program. 

Students use the online platform, Edmentum, for the curriculum and our classroom teacher, Onika Powell, works with students to complete classes. Completed credits are then sent to the guidance counselor on an official transcript.  We offer all core classes and tons of electives needed for students to graduate.

Our approach to education is unique and personalized

• One-on-one learning between student and teacher
• Access to career coaches on-site
