The Next STEP Explorer Classroom had an amazing day visiting the historic Fort Gratiot Lighthouse! 🌊⚓

Students explored local history, toured the lighthouse grounds, and experienced one of the many opportunities available through the Port Huron Museums pass program. These community-based learning experiences help our students build social, communication, and independent living skills while connecting with the world around them.

A huge thank you to Michigan Assoc. of Administrators of Special Education (MAASE) for providing grant funding that allowed us to purchase these museum passes and create meaningful learning opportunities for our students! 💙

Congratulations to our Next STEP April Employees of the Month — Devon and Arowyn! 🎉

A special shoutout as well to our Honorable Mentions: Hank, Sean, and Ti-ger for their hard work and continued commitment to building strong employability skills. Keep up the great work, everyone!

Our Next STEP students are prepped and ready for Mock Job Interviews in the Employability Skills class! Throughout the year, students have practiced interview skills, worked on communication and professionalism, and built confidence for future employment opportunities.

From handshakes and eye contact to answering interview questions and discussing strengths, students have put in the work and are ready to shine. We are proud of the growth, effort, and confidence they continue to demonstrate as they prepare for life after high school!
