Red Comet's online program has been instrumental to Toppenish High School's success in providing an alternative to traditional classroom setting. The initial success of Red Comet at Toppenish High School led to a school-wide implementation of the program where every student has the opportunity to participate in and expand learning using Red Comet curriculum.
