Welcome back to school!! This is an exciting time to be a Cardinal!! This year we are beginning our new program, PREP (Preparing Real Exceptional People). PREP is a transition program that will assist students to obtain and maintain employment. Our goal is to have each student reach his/hers highest potential, become more independent, and be a lifelong worker.
Joining District One is our business partner, Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC), they will be working with us to provide our students with a variety of internships. During our first semester classes, students will work on skills to prepare them for entry-level work in various career pathways. Then during the second-semester students will narrow their preferences through transition/ work assessments, hands-on simulations and work experiences at the TIEC. This class will be the prerequisite for students going on to participate in a full internship at the TIEC during the last nine weeks of the 2016-2017 school year.
