Overview

Mission

Sunrise and andrews high schools were established to provide an educational choice to students who have dropped out of school or may be in danger of dropping out. Using 21st century technology and a focus on individualized attention, the schools offer students, who are challenged by the traditional approach to learning, the opportunity to earn a state-recognized high school diploma. These high-tech high schools provide students, ages 15-21, a strong research-based curriculum and support for pursuing continuing education or a suitable vocation.
