The Mission of The NET Charter High School is to provide high school students with the skills, confidence, and experiences necessary to succeed in the education and career paths of their choice.
The NET Charter High School opened in August 2011. The program is designed to provide students who have dropped out or are in danger of dropping out with the skills, confidence, and experiences necessary to succeed in the education and career paths of their choice. The program currently serves approximately 60 high school students and will expand to 130 next year.
The NET Charter High School stands for: meeting Needs, raising Expectations, Training for life. Students at The NET earn a high school diploma, a GED, or complete a rigorous literacy and numeracy program. Students will follow an individualized academic curriculum and participate in internships with area employers in various fields. Our students leave school with the skills, confidence and experience to succeed in the career and education path of their choice.

- Individual learning plans that address skill gaps
- High expectations for academic, behavior, and future success
- Authentically engaging, hands-on curricula
