Nowell Academy Taking Applications - The First round of applications for the Nowell Academy are available for the 2013 - 2014 academic year and must be returned by March 15, 2013. 

The Sheila C. “Skip” Nowell Leadership Academy Charter School is an ideal setting for pregnant and parenting teens or other students who find the traditional school setting unaccommodating. The Academy combines online studies with classroom work and is aimed specifically at students whose family responsibilities interfere with their attendance at high school. That includes teenagers who are pregnant or already parents, who are responsible for taking care of other family members, who are victims of domestic abuse or who lack family support.
