Twilight evening program highlights small classes, restorative practices and rising graduation counts
Summary
Dr. Jel Williams presented the Twilight Alternative Program as an evening pathway for students needing a nontraditional setting, reporting enrollment and graduation figures and sharing student testimony about improved academic outcomes.
Dr. Jel Williams, director of alternative programs and principal of the Twilight Alternative Program, described the evening program as "a Pathway to success for our students who attend at night," explaining the program runs Monday through Thursday from 3:45 to 8:15 p.m. Williams said Twilight provides smaller classes, differentiated instruction, social-emotional supports and restorative-practices circles and that the program is application-based with committee review of applicants.
Williams provided enrollment and graduation data dating to the program's start: 18 students in 2021, 15 in 2022–23, 24 in 2023–24 and 19 enrolled as of Dec. 9. Student speakers credited the program with improving their grades and college prospects. A current student said, "Twilight has brought me like a lot of joy ... Twilight is genuinely one of the best programs I've ever seen to help a student," and a 2024 graduate returned to share a college essay describing her experience.
