The GJHS Transition Program strives to provide students with employment-centered opportunities that will prepare them for independent living after high school.
The Eagle Cafe is staffed entirely by GJHS students. Students cook, answer phones, take orders, and handle money. This enterprise provides students with the chance to interact with teachers and other students on campus, to learn professional communication skills, and to manage their time and obligations.
The students who manage the Eagle Cafe also partner with community agencies and attend weekly community-based instruction (CBI) trips where students learn important life skills in real settings. In addition, they are actively involved in the Performing Arts program.
