Project Challenge is a high school program that enables students to
complete their high school curricular requirements while exploring
post secondary educational and employment opportunities. Students
attend this half-day program in the morning or afternoon. Students
receive individualized instruction in the core content areas from a
certified teacher and work at their own pace to complete their
graduation requirements. A counselor and paraprofessional provide
additional assistance for the students.
Project Challenge’s alternative setting fosters increased
independence and responsibility. The program structure allows
students to be treated as adults. The life-long connections with the
adult facilitators, peers and the local community are unique factors
of this program that facilitate student success.
