Our Mission Statement
Our Mission
To increase attendance and graduation rates among disengaged or unenrolled youth by providing academic and school-to-work skills training through Individualized Learning Plans (ILP’s).
Our Purpose
The HLA will provide new opportunities for improved student learning and increased learning opportunities for students in special areas of emphasis. By changing the student schedules and individualizing the student’s learning experiences, student learning will increase. ILP’s make allowances for tailoring instruction to meet a students’ particular needs and increase student comprehension. The HLA will increase learning opportunities for students in special areas of emphasis specifically in employability skills. By requiring every student in every grade to take classes dedicated to various aspects of employment and developing work skills needed in a modern context will allow HLA students a unique opportunity to leave public school with great economic advantages over their counterparts who do not receive this training. Because of the rigorous academic courses at the HLA, upon graduation students will be adequately prepared to enter the world of work, vocational training, or post-secondary academic institutions with success.
