Mission
The mission of the Alternative Programs of the School District of Greenville County is to provide short-term intervention programs that offer a structured learning environment designed to address the academic and social needs of at-risk students.
Programs currently in place include the Middle School Alternative Programs, located at the Bonds and Donaldson Career Centers and the West Greenville School. The High School Alternative Program is located at the Sullivan Center. All of the facilities have been recently renovated and are technology equipped.
Alternative Program Goals:
- Enable students to integrate successfully into their regular school setting.
