Welcome to McAlister High School!

At McAlister High School, we believe in our students, their goals, and all that is possible for their futures.

We are a small, welcoming school community dedicated to supporting pregnant and parenting students, as they continue their education and work toward earning their high school diploma. We understand that every student’s path is different, and sometimes reaching your goals means finding a school that understands where you are and is ready to help you move forward.

At McAlister, students receive the individualized attention, academic support, guidance, resources, and encouragement they need to succeed. Our caring staff takes the time to get to know each student—her strengths, her challenges, and most importantly, where she wants to go.

Whether you are looking for a fresh start, working to get back on track, balancing school with pregnancy or parenting, or simply looking for a school where you can feel supported and successful, McAlister can be a place to take that next step.

We want every student who comes through our doors to see what we see: possibility. Your circumstances do not have to define where you are going. Your education, your goals, and your dreams for yourself and your family matter and we are here to help you turn those goals into accomplishments.

Your future is waiting. Let’s work toward it together.

We would love to meet you! Call us or stop by our school. Our team can answer your questions, tell you more about our program, and help you determine the next steps. We are located on the campus of Plasencia Elementary School.
