🌟 Empowering Students for Life Beyond High School 🌟

What does meaningful transition planning look like for students with diverse learning needs?

Recently, members of the Plaquemines Parish School Board Special Education team shared their journey from traditional, paperwork-heavy transition planning to a more student-centered approach focused on real-world opportunities and future success.

Through our partnership with University Start Ups, students are exploring career pathways and developing plans that reflect their interests.

What began as a small pilot program for high school students has grown into an expanded initiative that now includes more high school students and middle school students in its second year.

This innovative program helps students:
✅ Develop stronger, individualized transition plans
✅ Build career readiness skills
✅ Access hands-on learning experiences
✅ Explore future career opportunities
✅ Strengthen skills for greater independence after graduation

Most importantly, students are discovering possibilities they may never have considered before—from pursuing careers in skilled trades to earning certifications that prepare them for the workforce.

We are proud to continue expanding opportunities that help our students. Thank you to our dedicated special education team for leading this work.

Shout out to Mrs. Toldson, from Phoenix High School , for co-presenting during this week's event at the Louisiana Association of Special Education Administrators.

🎓 Big things are coming to Plaquemines Parish! 🎉

The Plaquemines Parish School Board is proud to be a key partner in bringing the ONLY higher education program to Plaquemines Parish.

This week, we joined Nunez Community College, Plaquemines Parish Economic Development and Tourism, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), along with local business and industry partners to map out the next steps for the Nunez Community College Plaquemines campus.

Starting this FALL, dual enrollment students will have the opportunity to take welding and electrical courses right here in the parish. This opens new doors for career training, industry certifications, and workforce development without ever leaving home. 🔧⚡

This is more than a partnership. It's a commitment to our students, our workforce, and the future of Plaquemines Parish.

We are building something special for our community. Stay tuned for more! 🌟
