The mission of Comstock Compass High School, in partnership with the community, and within a caring, flexible, supportive learning environment, is to develop employable, academically competent life long learners.
The major purpose of Comstock Compass High School is to provide an educational alternative for individuals ages 16 through 19 who, for a variety of reasons, do not find success within the traditional high school programs. These students may wish to complete their high school education earning a diploma or GED equivalent. Students may be referred by parents/guardians, their home high school, social services, the court system, or you may contact Compass High School directly. The program also is designed to meet the educational needs of pregnant teens and school-aged parents. Classes are available throughout the day as well as evening classes.
