Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment is a program that allows high school students (usually sophomores, juniors, and seniors) to enroll in college courses for credit prior to high school graduation.
Students participating in Dual Enrollment will take courses offered by colleges and universities who have a fully executed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with the District. Many of the courses offered through Dual Enrollment are transferable to other institutions, however some courses may only be recognized by the institution offering the course. Courses are often delivered on campus at one of the District’s high schools.
Students benefit from taking Dual Enrollment courses both by earning college level credit and also by the opportunity to engage in rigorous post-secondary content and expectations to prepare them for college and career.

Teen Court
Teen Court is a juvenile diversion program created for juveniles who have no prior juvenile court record and who have committed a minor violation of the law. In a Teen Court proceeding, juveniles between the ages of 11 and 16, who commit certain minor misdemeanor infractions (such as shoplifting, minor in possession of alcohol, possession of marijuana, etc.) who are willing to admit responsibility at the outset, testify as to their guilt before a jury of high school-age teenagers (the “Teen Juryâ€). Following the youth offender’s testimony, the Teen Jury questions him/her, as well as his/her parent(s) or guardian, regarding the event that brought the juvenile to court, as well as any other relevant issues that may potentially put the juvenile at risk for further unlawful behavior, such as school attendance, home behaviors, and drug and alcohol use. Based upon the answers to the Teen Jury’s questions, the Teen Jury then determines an appropriate disposition, or juvenile sentence, for the juvenile offender. Dispositions, which cannot involve any form of detention, typically include a requirement of no new delinquent behavior, community service, oral and/or written apologies, restitution if applicable, maintenance of acceptable school attendance and grades, and may also include, if applicable, mandatory participation in counseling services, drug screens and an on-line shoplifting prevention program. If the juvenile offender successfully completes the disposition imposed by the Teen Jury, the case is not formally charged and thus, the juvenile will not have a juvenile record for the offense.

Women of Tomorrow
The Women of Tomorrow mission is to inspire, motivate and empower at-risk young women to live up to their full potential through a unique group mentoring program with highly accomplished professional women and scholarship opportunities.
Women of Tomorrow engages highly accomplished professional women as mentors in a small group setting. We operate in partnership with public school districts; all activities are held during the school day, under the auspices of the school district. The schools select at-risk girls for participation based on a broad definition of “at-risk” including low income, abuse, disability, likelihood of dropping out of high school, becoming involved in gangs, drugs, criminal activity, getting pregnant or academic, social, behavioral, medical or other risk factors. Each group is diverse in its composition with girls in 9th - 12th grade who have varying strengths and weaknesses so they can learn from and empower each other. Girls in the program typically do not know each other prior to joining the group.
