WHERE ARE THEY NOW — From Student to First Responder

September 22, 2025

Former student Kiana took many lessons from her time at New Outlook, but the most important ones were discipline and structure.

Since leaving in 2017, she has pursued her dream of working in emergency services. Today, she serves as a 911 dispatcher, answering the call ☎️ day ☀️ or night 🌙—all while studying criminal justice ⚖️ and forensics 🔬 at Strayer University.

Following her graduation in 2027🎓, she plans to enter the police academy🚓. Her commitment to public safety is inspiring and heart warming.

Beyond her professional goals, Kiana is most proud of becoming a mother to her adorable daughter, Haven ❤️, and celebrating her continued sobriety.

To current and former students, Kiana offers these words of encouragement:

“The best days are ahead of you! Don’t give up!”

From all of us at New Outlook, we are so proud to see Kiana’s growth and success. Thank you for your dedication to public service and for keeping our communities safe! 👏

POLICIES BY DAY, PASTA BY NIGHT

September 16, 2025

Our Compliance Coordinator, Cindy, stepped out of the office👩‍💼 and into the kitchen 👩‍🍳 for a few hours, volunteering to cook up a good time with our students.

Students rolled up their sleeves and got to work, learning how to make ricotta gnocchi with a lemon🍋 sage brown butter sauce from scratch. Complimenting the entrée was a fresh salad 🥗 with toppings provided from the student gardens 🌱

Their hard work from farm to kitchen came full circle when students got to taste their homemade food. Fun and full bellies were had by all.

We’re grateful to U.S. Department of Agriculture and Penn State for providing partial funding of this experience through the PA Harvest of the Month grant as well as Whole Kids for their funding of our school’s gardens that are providing fresh produce for fresh experiences in the kitchen.🍽
