Students at the High Road Schools of Delaware put their skills to the test in an exciting and interactive event... the Transition Olympics! Held in Wilmington, this event gave special education students the chance to practice essential life skills through engaging challenges like the cleanup challenge, speed interviewing, and menu math.

A huge shoutout to the school and all the students for their hard work and enthusiasm, keep striving for greatness!
