Education

Staying in school is important to your future. A good education will prepare you to get a better job. You have a legal right to stay in school, even if you have special needs, are pregnant or ill. A guidance counselor or teacher you feel comfortable with is really the number one person to talk to for help.

If circumstances in your life make staying in a regular junior or senior high school impossible, you do not have to give up on school. There are alternative ways to complete your education. Contact:

Tutorial Programs
Sometimes keeping up in school is especially hard. Maybe you or a friend cannot read well or do not always understand your assignments. Talk to your guidance counselor or someone about getting individual help.
