F.L. Schlagle Transition+ Interns Excelling at the Start of 2025–26

Students from F. L. Schlagle High School excelled in Transition+, a distinguished internship program established through a collaborative partnership among the Special Education Department, Diploma+, and the University of Kansas Health System. This program is specifically designed for students with unique learning needs who are currently enrolled in transitional classrooms serving individuals aged 18–21.

The goal of Transition+ is to provide students with meaningful, hands-on experience across a variety of fields, including food service, hospitality, transportation, administrative support, and both clinical and non-clinical roles. Through guided, real-world learning experiences at KU Health System, students gain valuable employability skills and professional confidence.

Upon successful completion of the program and fulfillment of all requirements, participating students earn an Endorsement for an Approved Post-Secondary Transition Plan, recognizing their readiness for continued education, employment, and independent living.

Hats off to Alex Anderson, De’Shawn Bradley, Kayla Horton, Eileen Casarez Velazquez, Aiden Nelson, Jose Frayre Delgado, Daniel Alex Meneses, Treyvion Verge, Yaretzi Perez Bustillos and their teachers and paras for supporting them
