Gordon Parks High School is a public alternative learning center in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. The school, founded in 1991, was originally the Saint Paul Area Learning Center. It was then called Unidale Alternative Learning Center for several years, after the local strip mall it operated in; this was often shortened to ALC Unidale.[2] In 2007, a permanent building was built for the school and it was again renamed.[3] The school serves high-school-age students categorized as "at risk" or far behind in grade level.[4] It is the largest of seven alternative day school programs in the Saint Paul Public Schools district.[5]
