Nomination from the middle or high school principal or tribunal recommendation is required before an applicant will be considered for Accelerated Recovery Center (ARC). 

Accelerated Recovery Center is recognized by the Dothan City Schools as an "alternative school of choice" and is designed to accommodate at-risk or non-traditional students. 

Students must be capable of success in an accelerated, self-paced computerized, independent learning environment. 

A completed application is required. Applications can be obtained from the guidance department of either the middle school or high school respectively and should be returned to the students’ base school guidance office. All applications, upon approval by the base school’s principal and the district coordinator providing oversight of this program, will be forwarded to the ARC department at 201 E. Wilson Street. 

Incomplete applications will be returned to the base school guidance office. Filing an application does NOT automatically ensure acceptance.
