Project Launch is a college and career transitioning program in our high school. The program has a group called Pathfinders, where they explore interests, aspirations, and much, much more. Students are navigated through the career and college aspects, along with getting continued support through the program after they graduate from Deer Isle-Stoington High School. Every high school senior upon graduation has access to this program as a resource to help with whatever transitioning program they plan to have.
Healthy Island Project has partnered with the high school for many years but in recent years specialized in helping families with food sustainability. Healthy Island Project provides various items for our school food pantry and facilitates free produce monthly at the school from the Great Shepherd Food Bank. They have been an invaluable resource for our students, families, and staff.
