St. Andre Bessette Certificate of Completion
The St. André Bessette Scholars Program is intentionally designed for students with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. It is an extension of our Student Support Services department and is rooted in our Catholic mission. A small cohort of students focuses on tangible goals, such as living independently or maintaining employment, while participating fully in school and church community life. Scholars benefit from both individualized instruction and inclusion in traditional classrooms, which benefits scholars and their peers alike. The program culminates in a certificate of completion and participation in Holy Family's graduation ceremony.
