This past weekend, we proudly hosted a reunion for our HDS B.R.I.D.G.E.S. Program Alumni who graduated between from 2015–2025! We were thrilled to welcome so many of our former students for an afternoon filled with bowling, friendship, and fun. The HDS B.R.I.D.G.E.S. Program helps prepare students with Autism Spectrum Disorder for life after high school by supporting the development of social, life, and career skills. Seeing our alumni thrive is a true testament to the program’s impact.
During the reunion, we learned that all of our alumni are currently enrolled in college, pursuing degrees in Business, TV Production, History, Graphic Design, IT, Radiology, and Network Systems Technology. Many of them are also working in their communities, including jobs at Publix and Walgreens.
A special highlight of the day was when Ms. Mansolillo, one of their B.R.I.D.G.E.S. teachers who recently retired after 41 years of dedicated service in education, came by to see them!
We are incredibly proud of our HDS B.R.I.D.G.E.S. Program alumni and look forward to celebrating their continued success at next summer’s reunion!
