Junior P.A.L.S. Program

The Positive Applied Learning Styles (P.A.L.S.) Program is designed for sophomores and juniors who have been identified as students who are at-risk of not graduating because they are behind on credits.  Only students who have received recommendations from their teachers and counselors are invited to participate in the program.  This program is intended to reduce the drop out rate by assisting students in understanding their learning process while providing them with graduation requirements and an opportunity to make up lost credit.

Sincerely,

Jen Potter
