Success After High School

LIFE PREP SKILLS & TOOLS

Holden Students Graduate with a Solid Post High School Plan

Post High School Planning

Dreams, Passions, and Visions is a class about self-exploration and career development. With staff support, students create resumes, research careers / professions, practice interview skills, and apply for jobs and internships.
With staff support, Holden students research schools, prepare admission requirements, complete applications, and choose a school that fits their needs. We help students feel prepared for college by improving their test-taking and independent living skills, as well as offering families transition meetings, practice exams, and college essay workshops.
Each year students complete self-designed projects that assist in completing community service, developing outside interests, applying to jobs or internships, and creating a post-graduation plan.
Holden offers electives designed to teach and nurture crucial independent living skills personally, academically, professionally, and socially. Examples include Sewing, Gardening, Making Friends, Anxiety Management, Study Skills, and Cooking. All classes help students grow their social-emotional learning.
Holden’s team includes Transition and College Counselors; Grade Level Advisory Leaders; Therapeutic Counselors and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists; Credentialed Learning Specialists; and teaching staff. Included in tuition are unlimited family meetings; transition meetings to support planning for post-graduation vocational or collegiate programs; and a parent support group.
Holden empowers students by forming strong relationships and developing effective communication skills. Our program instills the values of collaboration, kindness, and community by building strong positive peer and staff relationships with students. We also offer a number of field trips to foster social connection, enrich curriculum, and expose students to possible careers, colleges, jobs, and internships.

Holden High nurtures the social, emotional, and academic well-being of each student through differentiated holistic instruction. Our students graduate prepared to lead a meaningful and successful life.
