The ALC, as it is called by the faculty and students, is a cost effective method to enhance education by offering Advanced Placement, Dual Credit, Spanish, Art, and two vocational courses (Culinary Arts and Law and Public Safety).

We are excited to serve Monroe County and are dedicated in supporting and growing the whole student.
