School Description

Tri-City United High School (TCU) is a public high school located in Tri-City United Public Schools that serves students in grades 9-12 in Montgomery, Minn. When school leaders recognized the need to find alternative methods of educating students who were falling behind or not performing well in the traditional classroom setting, they pulled together a group of teachers, a social worker and a counselor to come up with a solution. The school implemented the Alternative Learning Program for the 2013-14 school year and had 11 students graduate from the program that year.
