ALT School

Located on our main campus, the Alternative (ALT) School at Evanston Township High School provides a supportive and effective educational option for students who may not be finding success in a traditional classroom environment and may benefit from an alternative learning environment. The program is designed to help students get back on track academically and make progress toward graduation.
