After spending some time at a correctional facility, things changed significantly for Deal. ``That place was the worst thing I ever went through,'' the teen said. ``My dad and my uncle got in a car wreck WRECK, mar. law.

Returning to Canyon with 190 of the 220 credits needed to graduate, Deal appears sure to reach his goal. He earned 100 credits in three semesters - more than enough to make up for the time he lost. Bowman's program is set up for students to progress and earn credits at their own pace if they have fallen behind at a traditional school. Students earn credits as they do the work. They have to satisfy certain course requirements, and upon completion, they earn the credits for that course. They have four classes a day, as opposed to Canyon's six-class day. ``Jeremy really turned things around for himself,'' said Bowman counselor Suzy Mansfield. ``He completed the work that would normally take a student six classes a day at Canyon.'' Deal is one of 20 students who returned to their ``home'' schools Monday for the second semester after completing course requirements at Bowman. |
