la Paloma High (Continuation) High School
I am in complete agreement with Jennifer above. I, too, was reluctant and fought the fight about having my son attend an alternative education school; however, found that it was the best move for him. He is doing very well, has been on honor roll all year and will be graduating on June 4th of this year. He loves his teachers and truly feels connected and not just like another number which has helped to give him the confidence and belief in himself to succeed! Thank you La Paloma! High Five to you!!!
