• Complete all required assignments and maintain a "C" or better average grade.

| 10/11/2008 | I would encourage any parent of a struggling highschool student to explore CPS Alternative Education. This is a great program run by great people with the most amazing students. I graduated from this program in 2006 and received my Associates Degree in Business Management with a minor in Business Law. I am now employed as an Administrative Legal Assistant and love every minute of my career. Without this program and Mrs. Long I wouldn't be where I am today. Thanks again Mrs. Long!!! I owe it all to you!!!! | Caroline Hogston Carriemay123@hotmail.com Carsonville, Michigan Administrative Legal Assistant |
