Traverse City High School is a 10th-12th grade alternative high school and is part of the Traverse City Area Public Schools district. Our vision is to create an environment with expanded opportunities that will create success for all.
Carrying forward the tradition of caring for individuals regardless of their background or of their particular issues with traditional education, the vision for Traverse City High School is to create an environment with expanded opportunities that will create success for all. Primary to this vision is the belief that all students can learn and learn well – a corollary of this belief is that the teachers and staff have the resources to make the vision come true. Teachers will learn and apply new skills, use physical resources and time differently, and make expanded use of the community.
Helping students learn how to make wise decisions, manage conflicts and work individually and in groups is also a part of the vision for Traverse City High School. There is a great focus on the individual needs of each student with emphasis on teaching those skills and knowledge that students do not have. In addition, the staff and students will work collaboratively in the evolution of a program that will successfully carry students into the 21st century.
The mission of Traverse City High School is to cultivate life-long learners by meeting their unique needs so all students will become confident, productive, and responsible community members.
