Special Education has been designed to provide a meaningful program within which the individual can develop personally, socially and vocationally for today’s technical and global society. Such instruction includes a combination of academic subjects, vocational experiences and on-the-job training. The curriculum is geared to meet the student at his or her level of ability. Students retain their class distinction and graduate upon the completion of their program.

It is our policy to integrate all students through full inclusion into the main flow of education, providing appropriate support and modifications in the least restrictive environment. A number of certified special education teachers, educational technicians and support services from outside agencies provide additional support.

It is our belief that education does not end with high school graduation. Each student in the program is assisted by the Pupil Evaluation Team (PET), which consists of parents, teachers, administrators, special education and guidance staff, various evaluators, outside agencies and the student involved. The transition process begins in the eighth grade and continues through the completion of the Individual Education Program (IEP). PET members work with the student to develop and modify a five-year plan to help the individual aspire to their full potential in terms of independent living, employable skills, advanced training or education beyond high school, and responsible citizenship.
