Dickinson Continuation Center is an accelerated high school program that thrives in a smaller classroom environment. Our class average is 20 students per class. Because of the smaller setting, the teachers are able to create a space that develops an atmosphere of educational equitability. The students have the unique opportunity to complete 4 semesters in a year.
Our campus provides individualized teaching based on the needs of each student. We currently offer three endorsement plans – Multidisciplinary, Art & Humanities, and the Foundation plan. The needs of the students are most important, because of this we teach in a more traditional manner for all STAAR tested courses. These classes are taught in a hybrid environment. Other courses are taught through Edgenuity with a certified teacher in each classroom.
An additional expectation is that our seniors complete a portfolio before they leave. This project involves meeting with a college advisor, completing the FAFSA, receiving two letters of recommendations, an updated resume, and applying at a community college and/or a university. The purpose is to prepare our students for life after high school the best way possible.
