Pathways School - DuVal Re-Entry is a program which provides academic,
therapeutic, and transition services for up to twenty-five high school
students, male or female, with emotional disabilities in order to
facilitate the student's integration into classrooms at DuVal High
School. Primary consideration is given to students who are
applying for admission from The Pathways Schools' Springville Re-Entry
program. DuVal Re-Entry staff work closely with Springville
Re-Entry staff to ensure the transition success of eligible
students. Other eligible Prince George's County students may
also be considered on an individual basis. DuVal Re-Entry's
