Students at MHCS engage in a variety of programs that support their IEP objectives and overall development. In addition to general classroom activity, students access all school learning environments as well as the community. Programs include adapted physical education, music, home economics, library, Special Olympics, and they are scheduled to serve as workers for our school store. Teachers also engage students in instructional activities in various school and community environments other than in the classroom. Instructional environments include a fully equipped sensory room, a simulated apartment, the gym, and a variety of community facilities and venues that are frequented by typical students of similar age. Engagement in the varied learning environments provides opportunities for our students to interact with a variety of adults and peers in a manner that supports growth and attainment of IEP objectives. Additionally, MHCS partners with Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School (IHM) through a year-long “Special Friends” program. This program encourages interactions between students with disabilities and typically performing peers. IHM students serve as peer helpers during structured, meaningful and fun activities that are facilitated by classroom staff. Another important partnership has been established with Intown Community School’s Community Outreach Program, which also promotes interactions between students with disabilities and typically performing students at MHCS. These students also participate in engaging and meaningful activities with MHCS students, but on a more short term basis.
