Ten graduates from the SAIL (Students Achieving Independent Living) program were celebrated in style as they donned caps and gowns for a heartfelt ceremony honoring their achievements and futures.
These students have made remarkable strides—gaining confidence, building independence, and preparing for what’s next. Some are stepping into summer jobs, others into permanent employment, and a number are continuing on through Spartan Project SEARCH internships.
Each graduate’s journey is a reminder that growth doesn’t come all at once—but through small, consistent steps toward possibility. Ingham ISD is proud of every milestone along the way.
