The Nixon-Smiley CISD Alternative Education center is committed to provide a quality education responsive to the learning types and styles of our students.  The DAEP Program encourages our students and cadets to set, strive, and reach for successful life goals. Students and cadets will establish a strong foundation of education, knowledge, and self-discipline to use as the keys to success.  Our staff will teach and demonstrate behavior that supports conformity to positive group norms and prepare students to return to their home campuses as responsible and productive citizens.
