On June 2, Secondary Transition students were recognized for their completion of IMAGES, a special education program for students ages 18-21.
"You have developed skills that will help you navigate the world with greater confidence and independence through learning in classrooms, workplaces, and the community,” shared School Board vice president Hilary Kozel. “You have overcome challenges, adapted to new situations, and work steadily toward your goals. Today marks more than the completion of a program. It celebrates your perseverance, courage, and commitment to growth.”
Class of 2026: Secondary Transition IMAGES by Spokane Schools
IMAGES stands for Independence, Mobility, Accountability, Goals, Employment, and Success. In partnership with Spokane Community College, IMAGES students receive classroom instruction on campus paired with internships at local businesses and organizations for job skills training.
Eight students graduated from this year’s program with six attending last night’s celebration. All students either have secured employment or are on track to secure employment through their successful efforts in IMAGES.
