The High School Alternative Program is available for students from all four high schools in the Wentzville School District. Students come to Pearce Hall for a variety of reasons that have made it difficult to be successful in a traditional school setting. The students earn high school credit through course packets, online courses, performance-based learning, and project-based learning. Multiple therapeutic programs are available for those students experiencing emotional and toxic stress. Students are taught a range of career, life, and self-regulation skills and given opportunities to help find ways to prepare for life after high school.
