The overarching academic goal of the PRIDE program to expose students to high school topics and material, such as:

- Reading literature for pleasure with books in our PRIDE Library
- The Arts through electives such as Chorus with Ms. Geiling, and Guitar with Mr. Barrow

The overarching social and independent living goal of the PRIDE program is to promote appropriate student interaction and engagement with peers, through:
