The GOAL program is an accelerated alternative educational program that provides students with three different options in which to earn a high school diploma or GED by allowing students to:
Recoup credits from a failed semester;
Earn new credits toward a high school diploma; and
Participate in instruction that will prepare them to complete the GED.
To be considered for the GOAL program students must be at least 16 years old or in their second semester of the sophomore year of high school and reading at least at the 6th grade level.
