Dugan Alternative High School is a Chicago Public High School that was established in 1998 as a result of a proposal submitted to the Chicago Board of Education. The school provides a non-traditional educational opportunity for young men and women, ages 16-21, who have previously dropped out of high school but desire to achieve a high school diploma and a new chance to fully participate in the economic and social spheres of life through guidance and support.
The school operates under a holistic approach to teaching, involving community leaders from neighborhood families, public schools, local parks, churches, and businesses. With the support of teachers, professional counselors, probation officers, and the parish staff, Dugan Alternative High School aims to create a small, supportive setting where students can make positive life choices and receive the education they need.
