Outstanding Programs

Schools of Choice are schools that offer specialized programs where students are taught in innovative ways. All of our programs incorporate both traditional and nontraditional subjects into the core curriculum, creating exciting programs that successfully motivate students to learn. All of the District's elementary schools are schools of choice.

At the secondary level, programs of choice are also available in each building. Each of our secondary schools are divided into smaller school-within-a-school instructional units.
