The Portage Community Education Center serves as a broad umbrella for a variety
of programs: Community High School, Students on Campus Care, Adult High School
Completion, Curious Kids Daycare Center, Enriched for Life, and ESL. All of these
PPS programs are exceptional, but what really makes them unique is that they
coexist so successfully and happily in a shared facility. As with any successful
program, it is the staff that somehow turns challenges into opportunities and
makes the Community Education Center not only a great resource for the Greater
Portage Schools Community, but also a great place to work.
The Community Education Center won "District of the Year" by the Michigan Alternative
& Adult Education Association for 2006. This was the second time Community Education
has been honored with this award. We are also proud to have multiple-time M.I.A.A.A. State Champion volleyball
teams.
