Est. 2005 Chance II Charter School
• Menasha, WI 54952-0360
Chance II Charter School is a partnership between the Menasha Joint School
District and the Appleton Area School District to meet the needs of at-risk
high school freshmen and/or sophomores. Chance II Charter School is
housed independently at four sites: Menasha High School, Appleton North
High School, Appleton East High School and Appleton West High School.
Each site has developed a site-plan to address the needs of those
freshmen/sophomore students who have a history of struggling academically
for a variety of reasons. Chance II teachers work with their students to
identify and develop the communication, problem-solving, and self-advocacy
skills necessary to make up lost credits and ultimately attain their high
school diploma on time. Chance II teachers meet regularly as a team to
discuss best practices and provide opportunities for all Chance II students to
be successful and return to their home high school full-time.

Est. 1999 Lucas Charter School
• Menomonie, WI 54751-1511
Lucas Charter High School is a school of choice for at-promise/at-risk
students in grades 9-12 and some adult learners. The mission of the Lucas
Charter High School is to empower students to be lifelong learners, caring
individuals, and citizens who are responsible for their own behaviors.
Students have five primary means of earning credits: student-initiated
projects; traditional classes for credit; computer-based instruction (i.e.,
PLATO or online classes); PASS individual programming; and classes taught
by community volunteers. Students participate in a work experience program
and gain career awareness through the use of the WisCareers Program and
visits to post-secondary schools. Seventy-two hours of community service
are required of each student for graduation.
It is the belief of those who support the Lucas Charter High School that
students who attend school regularly, successfully complete the Lucas
Charter High School experience, and attain a high school diploma will
