MEC High School 
Grades 9-12
440 SE Oak Street

MEC's Alternative High School accepts applications from District high school students with referral by their school counselor.  Applications are accepted every nine weeks.  Students are able to earn their high school diploma through the program. The capacity for MEC 9-12 is 70 students.

MEC 9-12 does not accept expelled students or students who have committed felonies or certain misdemeanors.

Once an application is received for a student, an interview process occurs.  If a student is accepted, four full-time teachers and support staff, including a counselor and Special Education and ESL staff, provide a hands-on curriculum tailored to individual student needs.

There is an on-site teen parent program (including a nursery) for up to 12 infants and toddlers. 

Two other District high schools, Century and Glencoe also have nurseries. Referrals go through MEC for placement.
