Campus History

The Secondary Alternative Center (SAC) was established in 1996, emerging from the transition of the former Guidance Center to a more comprehensive educational program. It is dedicated to empowering students who benefit from a structured alternative setting. Over the years, SAC has evolved into a recognized model for alternative education, earning acknowledgment in 2009 as a Model Disciplinary Alternative Education Program. The center operates under the principle 'Attitude is Everything,' focusing on self-empowerment and long-term student success.
