While most students move on to college, the military or a job after graduation, students with special needs have a different journey.

They must learn life skills so they too may someday spread their wings.

In an effort to meet the needs of these students, Princeton Independent School District, in conjunction with businesses and churches, are opening doors for those in the community with special needs.

After graduating from PISD, special needs students are allowed to stay in the life skills class in the district until they reach 21 years of age.
