1980s
EDUCATION

Not every student is geared toward standard schools and the school district formed the alternative R-5 High School. The curriculum offers more vocational courses and flexible hours, and has been very successful. It is in the former Lowell School, built in 1925. Student input lead to the name R-5, which stands for Readiness, Relevancy, Reinforcement, Responsibility and Respect.
