THE JUVENILE JUSTICE CENTER

Approximately 50 students reside at JJIC and attend school on a daily basis.  Nearly all of the students who pass through JJIC have experienced school failure—many did not attend school regularly and were suspended or expelled. Most are far behind their peers academically, and 30 to 40 percent of them have special education needs. At Travis Hill NOLA Schools, we believe it is our moral imperative not only to meet the academic needs of these students, but also to reach out to them, show them we care, and help them find a path forward by tapping into their hopes, dreams, skills, and talents.

Over 50 juvenile residents are held at JJIC on a daily basis. At Travis Hill NOLA Schools we offer high school diploma-focused school for these residents who are between the ages of 10-21 years old. We foster a holistic learning environment that emphasizes not only academics, but also social-emotional growth, resilience, and responsibility. 

Our school culture and climate is grounded in a set of values (Respect, Integrity, Good Judgement, Hope/Optimism, and Teamwork) and a positive approach to discipline and prosocial behavior. 

At Travis Hill NOLA Schools, we do not just educate - we empower!
