 The overlap in services and population essentially amounted to the closing of Aurora and opening of the Graduation School as a rebranding of Aurora, yet with large changes and relocation to a different building.Aurora Alternative High School was for kids who were not successful in traditional schools or just wanted a fresh start in school life.It was also a school of choice, so a student did not have to go there, and students could choose to drop out of the school if it didn't suit their needs.
