The Gadsden City Alternative School serves all secondary schools in the Gadsden City School system. Students attending GCAS live within Gadsden's city limits. Gadsden City Alternative School offers students and the Gadsden City School system an alternative to expulsion. Without the alternative school, many students would be expelled for the remainder of the school year-or longer depending on the nature of the student's offense. With the alternative school in place, students are still afforded an opportunity to continue their education.
Mission Statement
Gadsden City Alternative School provides an educational setting to address the Behavioral and Personal needs of students who have experienced problems in the traditional school setting. Our goals are to help students build self-esteem, to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to be successful, and to be socially responsible so that they may return to the Traditional Home School Setting.
