The alternative high school opened its doors in 1988. Its purpose is to provide additional support for the education of those students who are "falling through the cracks” in the large SPASH environment. Too many students were floundering or leaving school, which was harming not only the individual students, but the school system and the community as well. Since its beginning, staff at the alternative school have provided instruction and help to nearly 3,000 students. School administrators estimate that their district would have a drop out rate of 15% if the Alternative High School Programs were not available to students. The program is currently being housed in the Professional Building in downtown Stevens Point.
