The breakfast recognized students for their dedication, perseverance, and accomplishments throughout the school year. Through classroom instruction, community-based experiences, and work-based learning opportunities, students have continued to develop the skills necessary for employment, independence, and active participation in their communities.
A special highlight of the event was recognizing the community businesses and organizations that have partnered with the RISE Program to provide authentic workplace experiences for students. These partnerships are essential in helping students apply classroom learning in real-world settings while building confidence, responsibility, and independence.
The RISE Program extends its heartfelt appreciation to the following work-based learning sites for their continued support and commitment to our students:
• IHOP
• McDonald's
• Inspira Health
• Salvation Army Corps of Vineland
• Sodexo
• Compass Charter School
• YMCA
• Rowan College of South Jersey Together Café
• The ACT Program
• Associated Humane Societies South Jersey Regional Shelter
The success of our work-based learning program would not be possible without the dedicated mentors and staff at each of these sites. Their guidance, encouragement, and willingness to invest in our students have helped create meaningful opportunities that prepare young adults for future employment and greater independence.
The Awards Breakfast served as a celebration not only of student achievement, but also of the strong community partnerships that make these opportunities possible. Together, schools, employers, and community organizations are helping students build brighter futures and achieve their goals.
Congratulations to all of our RISE students on an exceptional year. We are proud of their accomplishments and grateful to the many community partners who continue to support their journey toward meaningful employment and independent adulthood.
Thank you to our students, families, staff, and community partners for making this year such a success. Together, we are creating opportunities, building independence, and changing lives.

Vineland Public Schools is proud to announce that it has been selected by the New Jersey Department of Education as a recipient of the 2025-2026 Lighthouse Award for Diversifying the Teacher Workforce.
This recognition is especially meaningful because it is not based solely on test scores or academic rankings, and it is not an award for which districts apply. Instead, the New Jersey Department of Education reviewed multiple years of data from 590 school districts across the state and identified those that demonstrated measurable progress in advancing equitable outcomes for students.
Vineland Public Schools was the only district in New Jersey recognized in the category of Diversifying the Teacher Workforce.
As a district serving more than 10,000 students from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and cultures, we are honored to be recognized for our purposeful and meaningful progress in recruiting and retaining a diverse group of educators and creating homegrown pathways into the teaching profession.
This award reflects our ongoing commitment to ensuring that all students have access to opportunities, support, and role models who reflect the rich diversity of our school community. We thank our educators, staff, and community partners whose dedication made this recognition possible.




Out of all the finalist submissions, Gabrielle’s design was chosen to be professionally printed on the Vineland High School Warehouse truck. Seeing her artwork brought to life on such a large scale was an incredible accomplishment and a proud moment for both Gabby and the Graphic Design program. Her design will now travel throughout the district and community, serving as a lasting example of student creativity and talent.
Following the truck reveal, Gabby attended the event at Dr. William Mennies School where she spoke to students about her experience and creative process. She shared how her ideas developed from rough sketches into a final design, explaining the hard work, revisions, and problem-solving that went into creating the finished piece. Gabby spoke honestly about the importance of being creative, taking feedback, and believing in your ideas, helping younger students see that design is more than just making something look good — it is about telling a story and connecting with people.
Gabby represented Vineland High School with professionalism, confidence, and humility throughout the entire experience. Watching her speak to younger students and share her passion for graphic design was a proud moment, and her accomplishment reflects not only her artistic talent, but also the positive example she sets for others.












The meeting will be held in the West Cafeteria of the Asselta Building, with entry through the gym doors. Players and families will have the opportunity to meet the coaches, learn about the program, and receive information about the upcoming season.
