Helping students Achieve Graduation and Career Goals
General Information & Requirements
The Second Chance program is a nontraditional program established to meet the demands of student populations whose needs may not be effectively met in the traditional school setting. Second Chance Program also provides solutions for students at risk of dropping out of school.

Hello, I am Mrs. Taylor. I am the Second Chance Program facilitator and I also help students plan for life after high school-either college, military, or workforce prep. The Second Chance program is very rigorous and demanding. In order to succeed students must be responsible and determined to reach their graduation goals.
Along with teacher-led instruction, students have access to the Aztec program, IXL, and Odysseyware. These programs help students review current skills while providing additional practice with current standards and objectives.
I am committed to helping students complete their goals and create bright futures with limitless possibilities.
Have a Great year & Good Luck!
