The 4201 Schools Association is pleased to announce several commencement ceremonies honoring the milestones of New York’s blind, deaf, and severely physically disabled students.
Together, the schools in the Association are graduating more than 280 students from programs ranging from infant and preschool readiness to high school. Sixty-eight of those students will be receiving their high school diplomas this month, proving a commitment to excellence built on a foundation of individualized education.
“These remarkable numbers represent not just the hard work of our students who are able to succeed in programs designed for them, but also the dedication of our teachers and staff,” said Bernadette Kappen, Chair of the 4201 Schools Association and Executive Director of the New York Institute for Special Education. “Our schools really do provide a learning environment where students can thrive.”
