Crittenton Honors Graduates Crittenton Services, Inc. celebrated graduation this week. The ceremony was held at Bridge Street Middle School on Tuesday, May 17. Two young ladies received their GED's from Crittenton's program, two graduated from Wheeling Park High School and five others were promoted from eight to ninth grades. "It's a very special day for all current and future residents of Crittenton. Our girls come from difficult pasts. We are helping them forge their ways to new futures. Graduating is another step toward empowering them to achieve amazing things," said Tracee Chambers, vice president of Residential Services. The Crittenton Residential program helps females aged 12 through 18 with behavioral health services as well as a variety of life-skills to promote self-sufficiency. Among the most critical components of the program is education, and in partnership with Ohio County Schools, Crittenton offers a full time on-site school with certified teachers. Ohio County Schools' Assistant Superintendent Dr. Dianna Vargo and Wheeling Park High School Principal Bernie Dolan attended and spoke to the girls, giving words of encouragement and support. "They are ending one period and beginning another period; one with hope and promise," said Dolan. The celebration included food, music and academic achievement awards. Crittenton's Junior Board provided the cake. Food was provided by the Ye Old Alpha and That's Italian. |
