The AOEC/Stephens Center opened its doors in the fall of 1999. The building was once known as 'The Career Academy', but is now known as the Stephens' Center implementing various alternative programs with the goal to ensure every student is successful.

The AOEC/Stephens Center encompasses programs designed to target middle and high school students who have not found success within the traditional classroom setting. There are several alternative programs managed through the Stephens Center for student placement, and resources for three non-district programs students are referred to that do not meet requirements to enroll in a district alternative program.
