HOW WE HELP

Seniors Plus advocates support students by helping them restart or finish high school. We do this by helping students work through barriers to achieve credit recovery so they can reach their full potential by earning their high school diploma. In helping the students the schools also benefit from higher graduation rates and enrollments.

WHO WE SERVE

Seniors Plus serves students, ages 17-21, who have missed their original graduation date.  The program is designed primarily for students needing anything from half a credit (1 class) to five credits (10 classes). We are currently serving Leyden, Proviso, & Morton.
