The Mission of the Higher Ground High School flows from its name, and that is to lift urban students’ academic achievement to a higher level.

In accomplishing our goal we will ensure that each student acquires the knowledge, gains the desire, and develops the confidence needed to succeed in today’s marketplace.

Each student that attends Higher Ground High School will be taught core subjects by highly qualified, certified instructors that have a unique skill and motivation to help students who have been out of school for some time.

We will walk with each student through the academic process, recognizing that each student learns at a different pace, has differing needs, and have varying learning styles.

Higher Ground High School will also equip each student with vital life skills and vocational training opportunities to aid in an easy transition into the workplace.

The knowledge gained from Higher Ground High School will foster citizens who have a positive self-image, and are supportive of its community.

The Higher Ground High School staff works diligently to educate and elevate the minds of youth by way of an engaging and participatory educational program.
