Graduation

Gillis school staff love this time of year and it's not because they are counting down the remaining days of the school year! It's because of the many high school graduation announcements arriving in the mail. Some include written notes from the graduate reminiscing about their days at Gillis and some include current pictures of young men and women proving that the days really do fly by.

These announcements provide proof that the seeds planted years ago through Gillis programming helped these young men and women find success in public school and ultimately reach graduation. The goal for each child from their very first day in the Gillis Therapeutic Day school is graduation. Teachers and support staff work alongside students to help each one achieve their academic goals, successfully manage their emotions and ultimately continue finding success and making academic progress through graduation.

Gillis is very proud of each student's success while at Gillis and for the years that follow. A few of our long term teaching staff posed for the picture below so we can return it with a congratulations card to each one of our students who is achieving graduation this May.

Congratulations graduates!
