The Medford School District was recently awarded a star grant to set up an alternative school which will assist students at risk of not graduating.

The new alternative school will be called The Taylor County Alternative High School (TCAHS), as it was the Medford School District’s hope to set it up as a countywide institution. However, Gilman School District representatives had stated they do not wish to be a part of the program.
