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.

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!

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.

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. ![]()
