BRIDGE High School Alumni now includes two business owners in our community, business managers, medical technicians, nurse aides, college students and college graduates.

BRIDGE High School focuses on the future. Each senior must attend Senior Portfolio. This class prepares each student for the next step. Each must develop a goal and demonstrate that they are working towards the post-high school goal. Seniors develop a portfolio which is taken with them on job interviews, etc. Each student prepares for his or her own future!

Seventy five percent of the BRIDGE students for the class of 2005 are planning on enrolling in post-secondary education programs. The students usually score within the national average to above average range.

Students at BRIDGE receive a pretest when they enter the program. They receive a post test at the end of year.. The goal is to gain academically by at least one year in reading and math scores. The year 2003-04 showed average gains to be as follows:
  • *Math 1.3
  • Vocabulary 2.1
  • Reading 2.2

---we are currently in the process of changing the test that we are using. These results are from the ABLE.


Student Comments:

Quotes from student letters which were sent in with our nomination for Alternative Education School of the Year


"I'm a BRIDGE High School Student and proud to be one. I'm grateful for BRIDGE because this is my last resort. I have been to a least ten different schools in my life because of relocation, so I have never learn anything. At BRIDGE, I have learned so much that I never even thought was possible. I have never been to a better school."

"When I was in a local school, I never wanted to go to college but after going to BRIDGE, I am now planning to go to college. "

"Since I started BRIDGE, I've learned so much. The staff is great. They explain everything until you understand. They don't just throw homework in your face and expect you to know how to do it. BRIDGE also get you prepared for college. They encourage you to go as far as you can. Before, I was worried about making through nurse's aide class. Now I am positive I will become a registered nurse."
