High School for Students with Special Needs

A sense of purpose - a sense of accomplishment - a sense of pride
Our innovative approach to education extends far beyond the classroom door. Certified special educators, paraprofessionals, occupational, physical and speech language therapists, and a vocational coordinator integrate education, therapy, and work experiences to prepare our students to pursue a range of possibilities when they graduate.  Our programs support education, vocational opportunities, and recreational and social activities tailored to each student's specific interests and abilities.
