I started at GOAL because my daughter’s father and I needed to get our diplomas, but our schedule had to work around raising our daughter. I loved that we didn’t need a babysitter for her while we were in school.

THEIR FULL POTENTIAL...
HELPING ALL STUDENTS
At GOAL High School, students are valued, respected and celebrated for who they are. We strive to meet them exactly where they are in their educational journey. Our promise to each and every student is to help him or her succeed. Our staff, over five hundred strong, believes strongly in our mission and vision of helping ALL students to become productive members of society as a product of the caring, supportive and personalized environment we provide.
GOAL prides itself on its fourteen-year track record of working with students from ALL walks of life. We proudly serve: students who have a history
of suspensions; students who excel in college coursework; students who have children of their own; students with special needs; students with high anxiety; students who have lost a sibling or a parent; students who work full time jobs; students with a primary language other than English; students who have families with histories of substance abuse or gang involvement, and the list goes on.
GOAL’s hybrid model allows the flexible option that so many students need. They can complete all curriculum online or come into one of thirty-seven student drop-in centers throughout Colorado. The needs of modern students vary greatly. Regardless of the need or educational barrier, GOAL is positioned
THE POWER OF POTENTIAL
POTENTIAL…. Defined as … qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success.
The power of potential is virtually limitless, but when it comes to the youth of Colorado, there is a serious need to address the “may be” within the definition of the word potential. This is precisely why GOAL High School exists – to provide clarity and certainty to youth who may have lost their way or are seeking a new direction; in essence, to guide these wandering generalities into becoming meaningful specifics.
GOAL provides a much-needed alternative to thousands of
to assist with exceptionally strong wrap-around services. The unique structure of GOAL allows for vital social and emotional support alongside academic support. Thanks to strong community partnerships, GOAL can connect students with much-needed resources including assistance with food, clothing, shelter, or counseling.
DR. CONSTANCE JONES CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERGOAL is fully committed to helping students plan for post-secondary education, the military, or the workforce. Most importantly, GOAL is filling the void for thousands of the disconnected students in Colorado. We believe in ALL students and their ability to not only earn a high school diploma, but also to live a happy and fulfilling life.
Colorado’s over 50,000 “disconnected” students each year. Every young person deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential and live out their dreams. Dr. Constance Jones, her chief officers, her cabinet of directors and the staff of over five hundred dedicated and compassionate individuals are providing that very opportunity.
When the potential of a young person is nurtured and developed, not only is a life changed forever, but the entire community and the state at large benefit. During the 2021-2022 school year, GOAL enrolled 649 students who had previously been dropouts. Seventy-seven of those individuals became Class of 2022 Graduates! The financial benefit
of becoming a high school graduate and potentially a college graduate has tremendous economic impact. That impact is multiplied many times over as GOAL High School continues to graduate over one thousand students per year.
TED DEL DUCA BOARD PRESIDENTEach of these graduates has the potential to: discover the next cure; become a leader; start their own company; brave the next frontier; work or travel abroad; educate the next generation; raise a family; change the world. According to Esperanza Nunez, 2021 GOAL graduate, “GOAL staff believe in you and will never give up on you, even if you try to give up on yourself.” BELIEF is the driving force that unleashes… the power of potential.
