Adult charter school New Heights plans expansion into former Fort Worth ISD campus
Kendra Howard-Horn dropped out of high school in the late 1990s but always knew she wanted a diploma. The 42-year-old Fort Worth resident tried different paths over the years, including GED classes, but they never fit her learning style, she said. She needed accountability. She needed structure. Now Howard-Horn is one of hundreds of adult learners at New Heights High School, a Fort Worth-based charter that’s the first in the state to offer adults a pathway to earn a diploma. Soon, New Heights will expand, moving into a former school building owned by Fort Worth ISD. The charter’s new home will be at the former Rosemont Sixth Grade — and Applied Learning Academy — campus on McCart Avenue. The school plans to open Oct. 20, doubling its capacity across two sites.
