Superintendent Amy Beeler and Administrative Assistant Andrea Carroll went to check out what the ProjectSEARCH team has going on, and got to hang out with Jacob and Lottie. What a great reunion!
We love seeing former Pioneer School and School Services students like Jacob continue career training after graduation. This is why we do what we do.
