Salmon Alternative School was created by Jay Skeen and Roy Bossert to provide students an option to dropping out. The school has helped many students earn their high school diploma, who otherwise may have dropped out of school. Many of these students have since gone on to colleges and trade schools to continue their education. While the faces of the teachers have changed over the years, the goal remains the same: help students earn their diploma and develop the skills to be successful and contributing members of society.
