A very important component of Summit
School’s high school program is the team developed Transition
Plan. The team helps each student develop an individual plan for life
after high school.
Part of this plan involves future employment.
Summit School annually receives funding through the Illinois Department
of Human Services (DHS) to provide a Secondary Transitional Experience
Program (STEP). Through this program, students become DHS clients and
are eligible to participate in job training on the school campus or
within the student’s home community.
