Overview & Mission

Barker High strives to provide an environment of mutual respect where students can experience success, improve basic skills, and practice responsible behavior.  We understand that many students who are unable to continue their education in a traditional school setting, still have the desire to obtain a high school diploma.  The classes focus on discussions and related projects, which allows students to interact and determine the pace of their learning. In addition, we have an individualized approach offered via the on campus Nova Net lab. 

Barker High School is a fully accredited, full day, five day per week program. Evening classes are also available.  The teachers are all certified educators and provide quality curriculum.  The class sizes are significantly smaller, ranging from 15 to 25 students.  Barker High School serves students in grades 9-12.  There is usually a waiting list and to enroll, the student and parent must go through an interview process to determine if the program will meet their educational needs.  Student expectations include: display respect for all age groups on campus (infants, small children, adults, and peers), take responsibility for learning and work habits, maintain academic focus, attend school regularly and participate positively in the learning environment.
