31 Grads Reach Academic Milestone

Thirty-one students at The Family Foundation School received New York State Regents diplomas at ceremonies on June 26. According to FFS principal Ann Janauer, 30 of the graduates have been admitted to 2- or 4-year colleges, including the Rochester Institute of Technology and Boston University. One graduate remains undecided.

Completing the FFS program takes at least 18 months, and many of the graduates spent two years or more at the school. For most of them, earning a high school diploma was the last thing on their minds when they arrived, but with hard work and support, they managed to reach this academic milestone. FFS graduates also complete a character education curriculum based on an understanding of the spiritual principles of the 12 Steps of recovery.
