Cover face of Dream:
My nephew Jordan graduated last May (on time) from Buthune Cookman University (FL) on a full basketball Scholarship.
This past summer, Jordan played in a pro -
summer baskeball league and was named the top point guard.
Now, Jordan is competing for a spot on a pro basketball team in Europe. His story will be coming soon.

Welcome
This year’s goals are that students learn to have a vision, develop that purpose, and live toward those goals by actively engaging their communities. Our Vision, Passion, and Purpose is outlined below:
- Vision: All students have a more seamless "transition" into various aspects of post-high school community living.
- Passion: All students learn to develop & maintain the week of their individual lives "NOW," instead of waiting till after they exit special services and the school district - regardless of their graduation/ exit date.
- Purpose: All students learn to develop and maintain a living support network, which is active and vibrant in their lives before they graduate/ exit school.
Work Based Learning (WBL) is part of Career and Technical Education (CTE). One of the best ways to develop transition programming and post-school goals for students who have Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) is through WBL and CTE. The students: Juniors and Seniors, as well as Adult Students 18 - 21, are enrolled in Independent Living, Work Prep and Work Experience classes. Each student brings unique gifts and challenges. We are striving to establishing a network for students, parents, peer educators, community leaders and other stakeholders, as the educational community (of which we are a part) seeks to prepare students for greater indepenence in a diversified and complex world.
