From the Principal's Desk

Hello and welcome to Rockdale. On our campus, we strive to help students fall in love with education. We realize that education is more than just curriculum and testing—we have the privilege to be a part of the students’ journey to greatness. I personally meet with all students to establish a personalized learning plan. We set educational goals and monitor students’ progress every 30 days. Students are with us for such a short amount of time in the educational career, we want to make the most of their time here with us. We are fortunate to have highly qualified educational staff, premier technology, and educational programming that help us determine where students are academically and move them along towards success. As students attend classes with us, they are earning credits that will transfer back home when they leave. In addition, we offer a credit recovery program that allows eligible students to access coursework in areas where they are behind in credits. Ultimately, we want students to be successful and back on track towards graduation when they transition back home.

Best regards,

Tamra Vance, Principal
