On Wednesday June 24th we celebrated one of the most meaningful milestones in our RISE program as we honored our students who are moving on to the next chapter of their lives.
Our Ready to RISE Ceremony recognized the hard work, determination, and incredible growth of our graduates as they completed their journey with Vineland Public Schools. Each student was celebrated with a personalized biography highlighting their unique strengths, accomplishments, work-based learning experiences, and future goals before receiving their Certificate of Completion.
As each graduate walked past our “I Did It” display, they were reminded that this moment represents more than finishing school—it represents resilience, independence, confidence, and endless possibilities.
To our RISE alumni: We are so proud of everything you have accomplished and cannot wait to see where life takes you next. Always remember that you will forever be a part of the RISE family.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026! Your future is bright, and we know you are ready to RISE! 🎓💙

As part of Vineland Public Schools’ Portrait of a Graduate initiative, students in the Vineland High School Air Force JROTC program routinely visited Vineland Preschool classrooms throughout the school year as mentors and role models for some of our district’s youngest learners.
To celebrate the end of the school year, the preschool students and their high school buddies took part in a special Buddy Walk, marking the friendships they built throughout the year and symbolizing the journey students take together from their earliest days in school to graduation, which can be viewed on our official district YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/_zMw0GfYXRs
Through reading activities, conversations, and shared experiences, the AFJROTC cadets demonstrated leadership, service, and community while helping preschool students see what their future in Vineland Public Schools can become.
The mentorship program highlighted the district’s commitment to building connections across all grade levels and supporting students every step of the way on their path to becoming Portrait of a Graduate learners.

Student Researchers designed presentations to be interactive, and addressed student and staff questions on wide-ranging topics such as race, school and college readiness, the impact of dance therapy on student mental health, and the ways immigration enforcement affects school students.

The RISE (Reaching Independence through Structured Experiences) Program recently hosted its annual Awards Breakfast, bringing together students, staff, community partners, and workplace mentors to celebrate a year of achievement, growth, and success.
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.
