School Overview
The **Santa Maria Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP)**, located on E. Pike in Weslaco, Texas, serves as a specialized educational setting for students within the Santa Maria Independent School District. As a DAEP, the facility is designed to provide a highly structured environment for students who have been removed from their regular classrooms due to disciplinary infractions. The program’s primary goal is to maintain school safety and classroom order while ensuring that students continue to receive core academic instruction, allowing them to remain on track with their grade-level requirements during their period of reassignment.

Beyond traditional academics, the Santa Maria DAEP focuses on behavioral intervention and character development. The curriculum is typically condensed and self-paced to accommodate the unique needs of the student population, with an emphasis on discipline, self-regulation, and accountability. By providing a controlled atmosphere, the program aims to help students reflect on their choices and acquire the necessary behavioral skills to successfully transition back into their home campus and general education environment.
