Hallsville R-IV School District

With enrollment beginning in October 2009, the primary purpose of Indian PRIDE Academy is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where students can create and achieve success.  It provides an alternative education for students that aren’t able to have their needs met at Hallsville High School, with three main components:  MO-Options Program, Academy Flex Plan,  and “traditional” curriculum.  It was researched and suggested by high school Principal, Mr. Bob Plourde and the Hallsville At-Risk Task Force during the 2008-2009 school year.  It was then given approval in spring 2009, by district superintendent, Mr. John Robertson, District At-Risk Director, Mr. John Downs, and the Hallsville School Board. In the spring of 2010 the Academy graduated it's first class of four students.  Two of the four students are continuing their education at the college level.
