Students from Charlotte High School’s innovative alternative program, Project Success, have overcome numerous obstacles to earn their diplomas this year. With a 95% graduation rate this year, the future looks bright for this place-based and project-based school. First year Lead Mentor, Scot Morrison stated, “I was extremely impressed with this year’s graduates. They overcame a pandemic, the transitions of virtual and face to face learning, as well as decisions made in their early academic high school careers to finish up strong and earn their diplomas.”
Project Success is an alternative program that focuses on providing students with a hands-on education that includes skills that will serve them as they transition to higher learning institutions or careers. The school enrolls 11th and 12th graders who are behind in their credit achievement. A 2022 graduate raved, “My experience in Project Success was fantastic. It was a program that helped me succeed in getting caught up and graduating. The teachers are awesome and help when you need it, and they are understanding of everyone's way of learning.” Students and staff are looking forward to utilizing the new home economics room once renovations have been completed. The updated room will provide opportunities for students to learn life skills as well as a place to break bread with other students, staff and community.
Project Success utilizes the Michigan Merit Curriculum and provides for involvement in the local, state, national and global communities. The school is housed at Charlotte High School and staff comes from the high school.
