*REQUIREMENTS
- You must be at least 16 years old prior to starting at R-5, unless you are interested in our Young Parents Program as an expecting teen.
- All new students are placed on Candidacy, which means they need to (1) attend school, (2) make academic progress, and (3) follow our respect agreements. Failure to do so will result in being sent back to your home school.
- Students are expected to have a secondary placement: either have a job, attend the Career Center, attend WCCC, or be involved in an internship or apprenticeship.
