Brief Program Description
In education today, "alternative programs" are many times looked at as the ugly stepchild and simply an afterthought as a "second chance" for students and educators when the traditional high school experience is not successful. In this session, we will present how the Cobb County School District took the leap of faith to create an academic alternative school, Cobb Horizon High School. Cobb Horizon High School is a non-traditional, academic alternative high school that was established to meet the needs of a growing population of non-traditional, at-risk, and credit deficient students. In this session, we will highlight the process of developing an academic alternative high school, share tools and strategies that have been an integral part of building our school culture and program, as well as our first-year successes and struggles.
