The mission of the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) is to create and maintain an environment where learners, teachers, administrators, support staff, and the community become a cohesive unit for the enrichment and redirection of student behavior in order for each student to attain success and to become productive citizens.
(DAEP) is an educational and self discipline alternative instruction program for students in elementary through high school grades that are removed from their regular classes for mandatory or discretionary disciplinary reasons and placed in DAEP.
- The Cedar Hill ISD DAEP is designed on a foundation of positive and proactive academic and behavior (self-discipline) support.
- DAEP students will learn from their prior mistakes, refine their sense of right and wrong, and remain on their appropriate academic levels.
- The mission is to teach students to be leaders in their school, community, home, and, most of all, in their daily lives.
- DAEP students will have a positive attitude toward school, academically and behaviorally, and exemplify honor, dignity, and respect for self and others.
- Cedar Hill ISD DAEP staff will provide students the highest level of teaching and coaching in order to transform good students, that have made bad choices, into good students and good leaders.
