Points of Pride
  • In 2007, Cass City High School was 100% compliant to the State of Michigan guidelines for Individualized Education Plans.
  • Cass City High School met the AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress): *Met Michigan state standards by obtaining a B grade.
  • Cass City Greenhouse was purchased to assist Special Education students with responsibility.
    90% of special education students successfully complete the Merit/ACT exam.
  • The majority of our students go on to either successful employment or to post secondary training.
 

 "Our mission as special education teachers is to facilitate academic
achievement and personal growth.  We encourage students to set
    a wide range of academic, personal, and post secondary goals."

 

All Special Education Teachers are certified and Highly Qualified in their subject areas and have been in education for a combined 31 years of experience.

Our classes have a small average (1 teacher for every 8 students) of students in the Special Education classrooms. This gives our students more one on one help.
