The NET Charter High School In July 2011, Educators for Quality Alternatives, a local nonprofit, opened New Orleans’ first truly high quality alternative high school for students who have dropped out or are in danger of dropping out. The NET Charter High School stands for: meeting Needs, raising Expectations, Training for life. Students at The NET will earn a high school diploma, a GED, or complete a rigorous literacy and numeracy program. Students will follow an individualized academic curriculum and participate in internships with area employers in various fields. Our students will leave school with the skills, confidence and experience to succeed in the career and education path of their choice.
