Tokata Learning Center - Stories Matter.

The Tokata Learning Center’s (TLC) mission is to facilitate high-quality learning within a school community where…stories matter, vulnerability is invited, barriers are challenged, strengths are discovered and students are celebrated.

This is Tokata Learning Center

The TLC, which is located in the Town Square Mall next to the District Office and Welcome Center, recognizes that the journey to a high school diploma for many students is not a straight path.  With the support of a well-trained staff, in a small, welcoming learning environment rich with self-directed learning options, TLC programming is designed to empower students to become independent, respectful and responsible learners on their journey towards graduation.
