About the Program
The A+ Program was established in 1993 as part of the Outstanding
Schools Act by the Missouri State Legislature to enhance educational
opportunities for high school students. According to the
Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education,
the primary goal of the A+ Schools Program is to ensure that all
students who graduate from Missouri high schools are well-prepared to
pursue advanced education and employment. Archie's A+ goals are:
- All Archie students will graduate from high school
- All students will complete a selection of high school
studies that are challenging and for which there are identified learning
experiences
- Archie High School students will proceed from high
school to a college, post-secondary vocational or technical school, or a
high-wage job with workplace skill development opportunities
Archie High School applied for A+ designation in the spring of 2006.
The class of 2009 was the first eligible class to have the opportunity
to qualify for free college tuition pending the continuation of program
support from the state legislature.
Archie High School graduates who meet specific A+ criteria will be
eligible to receive reimbursement for tuition and general fees to attend
any public community college or vocational or technical school in the
state of Missouri for two years (up to six semesters).
