On Wednesday, June 9, The Hadley School for the Blind held its annual High School Graduation at the Winnetka Woman’s Club. This year, eight students received their high school diplomas and six were present for Hadley’s commencement ceremony.

Celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, Hadley has had an accredited, tuition-free high school program since the 1930s, helping people over the age of 14 who are blind or visually impaired achieve this important milestone. Through this nationally-recognized program, students can transfer credits to their local school district or receive their diploma directly through Hadley. Many apply credits from their local school toward their Hadley diploma. Some students supplement their homeschooling with Hadley’s high school courses as well.
