More than 75 students from the Opportunity Center in the Hazelwood School District were recognized at the inaugural opportunity center senior recognition program.
Last year, the Hazelwood School District Board of Education approved the move of all alternative education programs to the former Hazelwood East Middle School, which was renamed Hazelwood Opportunity Center. The alternative education program offers five programs: Hazelwood success academy, Missouri option program, alternative support center, short-term suspension, and positive choice.
“The Opportunity Center gives students who do not perform well in a traditional class room setting another chance to be successful,” said Darrell Strong, director of alternative education.
