Serving Middle School and High School Students
For several years, parents, principals, teachers, law enforcement, and
administrators have expressed a need for an alternative learning
environment for students who are experiencing severe academic,
behavioral an/or attendance problems. The Holmes District School Board
has responded to this need by supporting and funding the Graduation
Assistance Program.
Our mission at the Graduation Assistance Program is dedicated to
providing a quality educational program that is centered on preventing
and reducing juvenile delinquency. The program is operated in
partnership with the Department of Juvenile Justice, the feeder schools,
families, law enforcement, community organizations, and other public
agencies. We are committed to a balanced approach that effectively
provides troubled youth with guidance, education, and discipline in a
caring environment to enable them to accept responsibility and become
productive members of the community.
Our philosophy is based on
the belief that all students can learn and succeed when provided a
learning environment that meets their needs and interests.
