You Have a Team of People to Support You

  • Counseling Department: Counselors review each student’s transcript and create a personalized course plan in coordination with the student/family and the Supervising Teacher for each student. They are available to help with college and career planning throughout their high school career. 
  • Supervising Teachers:  STs work with students to choose their preferred learning path, order curriculum, collect and assess work, and monitor their student’s progress in all coursework and in their course plan. STs also meet with students and families regularly to collect student work samples. If a student experiences challenges, the ST will work with the student and family to find a meaningful path ahead.
  • HQTs (Highly Qualified Teachers) are instructors that have a degree within their content area. They teach the virtual courses and oversee the ODL (on-demand learning) classes. They also provide supplementary support as needed.
