The teachers, staff, and Principal go above and beyond to help and inspire students. They sincerely want every student to succeed and give them the knowledge and skills to do so.

There are little if not none extracurricular activities at this school . If you wish to participate in sports you must play for another school in the district

The school nurse is only there on Thursdays, but if you just need to lie down or get an ice pack you can. There is very little bullying and when there is it's dealt with immediately.

My niece attended Challenger because her high school expelled her for not attending class, being disorderly, etc. She was in "bad girl" mode at the time so the school district sent her there. Niece told us the kids don't care there, no one does anything if they don't have to, drugs are shared along...

I've been going to this school since 9th grade. I'm now in 11th. I first started here because I didn't like how long regular school days are. Now that I've been going here I went from C's to pretty much all A's. I also hated school in general when I first started going and now I enjoy going to schoo...

It offers great alternatives for students who can not attend a traditional high school. 90% of the staff here is wonderful including, Ms. Love (secretary),...

I am a proud graduate of Challenger school class of 1993. At this school there were no peer pressure or pressure at all from staff, academics or anything. This school made me who I am now an Arson Investigator in my hometown and considered an expert witness to any and all fire/arson related investig...
