After high school.....

I am very proud of the programs that YPS has in place to open up opportunities for our students after high school graduation. Tami Wegener has been instrumental in securing a "College Access Grant" that will allow more students to be able to take visits to community colleges, trade schools, and universities. This grant will also open up funding and scholarship opportunities as well. Beth Ericson has implemented "Project Search" that is a work skills based program for 19-21 year olds with special needs. We are also active in hosting "college nights" and financial aid seminars to help out our students and their families as they prepare for life after high school. We also have a "Learn to Dream" partnership with Southeast Community College and Cornerstone Bank that provides one FREE year of tuition for eligible students. We are proud of what YPS can provide our PreK-12th graders and excited about being able to help push them past their senior year onto bigger and better things with advanced education. Go Dukes!
