Abstract	This article discusses the Irene L. Chavez Excel Academy, a remarkable high school for at-risk seniors in San Antonio, Texas. This specialized Northside Independent School for approximately 300 students is housed in a unique circular building on the attractive Holmes High School campus. The academic program, tailored for at-risk seniors, provides a win-win educational opportunity for a district eager to graduate its students and for students who--for family, financial, medical, or behavioral reasons--had not previously believed that graduating from high school was within their grasps. Hundreds of success stories feature Excel Academy's graduates. (ERIC).
