SWEET MOMENTS at NEW OUTLOOK!

October 24, 2025

Our HR Manager, Rochelle Coleman, spent a fun-filled afternoon with students creating homemade caramel apples from scratch — cooking the caramel sauce, dipping, topping, and packaging each delicious treat. These tasty creations were shared with everyone at our Fall Fest celebration!

A huge thank you to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Penn State for their support through the PA Harvest of the Month grant, which helped make this hands-on (and mouth-watering!) experience possible.

Nobody brings the fun like the Buccos and the Pirate Parrot!

October 20, 2025

The ladies of New Outlook hit it out of the park when the Pittsburgh Pirates came to campus to “take over” gym class for an epic Wiffle Ball Tournament.

The day was filled with laughter, teamwork, and plenty of friendly competition, making memories to last a lifetime!

FALL BRINGS THE FINAL HARVEST AT THE NEW OUTLOOK GARDEN

October 3, 2025

After a season of hard work and a bountiful harvest, fall has brought us to our final picking. But nothing extends summer a little longer than a sweet, juicy watermelon!

Well done, ladies — your dedication made it possible for staff, students, and our community to enjoy the true “fruits” of your labor all summer long.

We’re all grateful and strengthened by our community and partners.

Our students had an incredible opportunity to step into history during their visit to the Carrie Blast Furnace!

Our students had an incredible opportunity to step into history during their visit to the Carrie Blast Furnace! Thanks to Rivers of Steel for providing this free tour, our students experienced Pittsburgh’s industrial past up close and gained a deeper appreciation for the region’s culture and heritage.

We’re so grateful for community partners like Rivers of Steel who open doors to learning beyond the classroom. 🙌

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! 👏
