The traditional public high school isn't for everyone. That's why a company named White Hat Management founded Life Skills Centers. These alternative education charter schools accommodate students who are experiencing difficulties with the routine of traditional public schools.

      There are 23 Life Skills Centers in Akron, Canton, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Elyria, Middletown, Springfield, Toledo, Warren, and Youngstown (all Ohio), as well as in Phoenix, Ariz., Denver and Colorado Springs, Colo., and Detroit and Pontiac, Mich.

      Our centers have helped nearly 4,700 students enhance their lives by earning a state-recognized high school diploma and a job.
