KEYS High School

KEYS High School, formerly known as KEYS Learning Center, is a public alternative high school in Euless, Texas, United States.[3] It is part of the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District. KEYS primarily serves students ages 16 through 21 who are unable to remain at either L.D. Bell or Trinity high schools due to academic, economic, or personal needs. It offers the same curriculum as that of the District's regular high schools, but does not offer an athletic program, Advanced Placement, or International Baccalaureate classes.[4]

Campus

KEYS High School's building on Raider Drive was built in 1957 as the first campus for L.D. Bell High School. In 1965, L.D. Bell High School was moved to its current campus on Brown Trail in Hurst, a site donated to the District by its namesake Lawrence Dale Bell. Its former building became Central Junior High School. In the late 1980s, Central Junior High moved to a new building adjacent to its old building, which became KEYS High School.

gollark: It uses the RFC 2119 "MUST" definition, which says "This word, or the terms "REQUIRED" or "SHALL", mean that the definition is an absolute requirement of the specification.", so attackers cannot, in fact, not do this.
gollark: The RFC says MUST, so yes.
