    Campus Vision

    Our Vision for Crosswinds Accelerated High School is to be a campus in which a student's race, economic situation, language, or previous experiences do not predict or determine their future outcomes. 

    Mission 
    Our mission is to nurture, mentor, and educate all students, especially those who have struggled in a traditional high school setting, in order to ensure their personal growth and success.

    About Our School
    Crosswinds Accelerated High School is a School of Choice offering accelerated instructional opportunities while meeting the needs of a diverse student population. The school day is comprised of three distinct sessions that provide flexible scheduling opportunities for students. Crosswinds is currently in its seventh year as a Grand Prairie School of Choice.
