SAVANNAH: I just come every day and then I get online and I do my classes.
I'm using it to get my diploma because without this whole entire program, I wouldn't be able to get it.
CHUCK: I work with students that have either dropped out of high school or have fallen behind for whatever reason.
DON: We have quite a few kids that can't go to school all day, so they come down here and it works into their schedule.
HALEY: I come here from 9-11 and then I go to work until 5 to save money for college and stuff and just to get a head start on college.
TIM: My goal for the students in the Independent Study High School is to have them be successful students regardless of their circumstances.
SAVANNAH: It's really simple and you can actually look at your work at the same time and the teachers are really easy to work with.
And it's just awesome, I think it's a good program.
CHUCK: We have students here from about six area schools so we follow their graduation requirements for their own school.
What's rewarding is the kids have a real sense of satisfaction when they're done.
They're very proud of their achievement.
And when you see that light in their eyes, that makes it all worthwhile.
