Locally, the historic Crooked Tree was a guidepost and a meeting place. Old, bent and beautiful, it was a landmark for those who might be lost, and a guide for their safe return.

Today, Crooked Tree High School is an educational option for students who have not experienced success in a typical school setting. We are a high school diploma/independent study program that provides multiple opportunities for credit recovery, school-to-work and life-skills in a smaller non-traditional environment. Crooked Tree is open to students in Char-Em ISD’s service region of Charlevoix, Emmet and northern Antrim counties.

Crooked Tree High School named 2024 Michigan Alternative Education High School of the Year!
