7/13/2025
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),...

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...
