Simley's award-winning Alternative Learning Program (ALP) is a high school educational experience designed to meet the needs of students age 16-21 who, for a variety of reasons, are not successful in the traditional school setting. Challenge-based learning opportunities drive the program. Learn more about our AlP
Simley High School was named for I.T. Simley, the retired superintendent of schools from South St. Paul who served as a consultant to Inver Grove Heights during the district’s transition years. Simley’s first graduating class was the Class of 1961, with 19 graduates. We have grown since the high school was built, being fortunate enough to add facilities for community gatherings and a center for students to work and explore college and career opportunities.
Tours are available by calling the main office at 651-306-7000 and setting up an appointment with the principal. We look forward to providing the best education possible for your child!
