Alumni Testimonials

Jamiyah Johnson

Wonderful Support!

They offered a support system that gave me the confidence I needed, it was my last chance to have a diploma.

Tyrell Loury

Helpful Staff!

Progressive Leadership Academy helped me to stay focused at a time when I had a lot of problems on my shoulders.

Kiara Footes

Great & Talented Team!

The staff was very friendly, supportive and I liked the non-traditional school vibe.

Kelise Smith

Saved HS for me!

I left High School because we were out of the district, and no school would accept me because it was so late in the year, until I learned about YCCS.
