Mission:
To educate, support, and empower young adults to grow in professionalism and independence as they pursue competitive employment in a global economy.
Vision:
To reduce academic, financial, social, and emotional barriers for students who have deferred their diplomas so that they may access educational opportunities that enhance their talents and skills to thrive in an evolving world.
The DCPS/FSCJ Extended Transition Program students have met the requirements to graduate High School. They have opted to defer their diploma so they can continue to receive FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education).
