Typically when people think of an alternative high school, they think of children that have pretty intense behavioral problems that have been kicked out of regular school. Things that come to mind are usually truancy, excess physical and verbal altercations, or teens that simply seem to struggle with keeping up in a typical school setting. There aren’t many great pictures painted about the youth that attend these types of schools, so it’s not surprising that the teens within those doors are oftentimes labeled as “bad.”
But writing off all children that attend alternative high school as unredeemable would be a mistake. Many kids that attend those schools aren’t inherently bad and three teens from Iowa prove just that. Clinton Ring, Paul Clanery and Davidson Hartman are seniors at Gateway High School, an alternative school in Iowa who sprung into action after Paul noticed a man fall on the railroad tracks from the window of their classroom.
