Welcome to the Alternative Education Program at Cherokee Community Learning Center.  The faculty and staff look forward to working with you during the coming  school year.  Our goal is to enable you to become successful, both as a student and as an individual.  We will work closely with you to address any problems you may be having that are barriers to your success.  But we must work together for a positive outcome.  This means that you must take advantage of the opportunities offered here.  You must always give your best and take your education seriously as the key for success that it is.

The choices you make --today and each day on your future--influence how others see you and how you see your self.  Choose SUCCESS!
