Alabama’s First Black Woman-Founded College Expands With New High School Division for Neurodiverse and Non-Traditional Students

Shakea Miller, the first African American woman to found a privately owned, degree-granting college in the state of Alabama, 1 on 1 Technical & Theological College, has announced a major institutional expansion with the launch of a high school division specifically designed to serve students with learning differences and those underserved by traditional education models.

The new high school division will host its first day of classes on January 5, addressing a long-standing gap Miller identified while operating the college.

“Over the years, we had to turn away far too many people who wanted to enroll in our trade and degree programs but did not have a GED or high school diploma,” Miller explained. “I knew there had to be a better solution.”

That solution became the creation of a high school pathway housed within the college itself, one that serves students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences, as well as students who struggle with the traditional seven-hour school day.

Author Max Miller Releases
New Self-Help Book “Blame It on the Feel of Pain” About Detangling From Past Pain

Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.

The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.

Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!

Rather than forcing students into rigid systems, the new division offers:

• Flexible scheduling
• Shorter, more focused instructional blocks
• Online and hybrid learning options
• Individualized learning plans
• Small-group instruction

The model is designed for students who are academically capable but disengaged or overwhelmed by traditional schooling.

“Not every student thrives in a seven-hour classroom day,” Miller said. “Some students learn faster, some need flexibility, and some simply need a different approach. This program allows students to complete high school while also positioning them for what’s next.”

A key feature of the new division is its direct pipeline into fast-track trades and college degree programs offered by the institution. Eligible students will be able to transition seamlessly into workforce certification programs or associate degree pathways upon completion, eliminating common barriers between secondary and post-secondary education.

The high school division is ideal for:

• Students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
• Students with ADHD or attention challenges
• Students with dyslexia or processing differences
• Students disengaged from traditional school environments
• Families seeking flexible, career-aligned education options

Since founding the college, Miller has built a reputation for innovation in adult and workforce education, graduating thousands of students into healthcare, technical, and skilled careers. The launch of the high school division expands the institution into a full educational pipeline, serving students earlier while maintaining a strong focus on outcomes and opportunity. “This is about access and solutions,” Miller said. “Instead of turning people away, we built a bridge.”

Enrollment Information

Enrollment is now open for students beginning January 5. Families can visit the college’s official website at 1on1tntc.com or contact admissions for more information at 334-480-2000
