Alcona Community Schools - Excellence today...Success tomorrow

This summer Close Up students will be taking a trip to Washington, D.C. for a hands-on learning experience to explore government by visiting monuments, museums, and Capitol Hill, taking part in discussions and debates, and more. To help fund their trip they are doing a can and bottle drive. If you have cans/bottles to donate please drop them off in the fenced area outside CLAW Academy; which is located at the entrance to our Transportation Department. Thank you! #alconaschools #closeup

At Alcona Schools, student safety is our top priority. That’s why we support the Okay2Say initiative, which encourages students to speak up when they see or hear something concerning.

Interested in a career in Early Childhood Education? According to the MSU Community Evaluation Program, our community is considered a childcare desert. Through Alcona Community Schools’ Early College Program, students can start their path toward becoming a preschool teacher, teaching assistant, social worker, daycare provider, or even a childcare center director, all while still in high school!
