• The Greyhound Alternative Program (GAP)

    A school within a school at Clayton High School, that supports students who have barriers to their success in a traditional school setting.  Our focus is on identifying those barriers and collaborating with students and their families to develop an individualized education plan to overcome them. 

    GAP Program Outcomes:

    • Graduation / Reduced Dropout Rate

    • Improved Attendance

    • Reduced Discipline Referral / ISS OSS 

    • Social Emotional Growth - Confidence/Resilience/Communication Skills

    • Transition Support

    • Employability Skills 

    • Recovery and Reintegration

    • Reduced Stigma /  Staying Connected to their High School Experience

    • Collaboration with Families

    Culture and Values -  What Drives Our Decisions:

    • Holistic approach to identifying and addressing barriers to students’ education 

    • An understanding  that all students WANT to be successful but may not have the skills to do so and that learning and growth look different for each student.

    • Relationships, respect  and trust between students, staff and families are essential.

    • A belief that all students can learn and that our plans will be successful.
