Hello parents and students,

Welcome to the Alternative Education Center Special Education Independent Studies program!  The 2025-26 school year will be the start of my 28th school year in education.  I still love teaching, so I will continue until I lose the passion and commitment to support my students.  As you may know already, Independent Studies (IS) is a unique program that allows students to work at their own pace and empower them to focus on one class at a time for about 3 weeks.  Since there are 18 weeks in a semester, we would like to encourage students to complete six classes for the semester.  We can help students with in-person support in my classroom, or we can meet online.  Also, we can help students who are behind in credits and need to increase their GPA for graduation.
