Transition Academy Celebration

Published May 28, 2009

On May 19, the Williamson County Transition Academy marked the end of another successful year with a BBQ Bash.  Students and staff gathered at the academy in Franklin for food, fellowship and fun.  When they weren't playing frisbee or eating hot dogs, the students were busy chatting with the guests and showing them around the academy.  Toward the end of the afternoon, awards were handed out to each of the students, giving them all a reason to smile.  

The Williamson County Transition Academy was created to help students with special needs make the transition from high school to post high school opportunities.  Instructors help the students with everything from training and employment to home and family living.  It is open to young men and women between the ages of 18 and 22.
