RAMS PROGRAM
The primary goal of the Rams Program is to provide an inclusive Catholic education to high school-age students with developmental and intellectual disabilities. This program allows us to further the mission of both The Church and Central Catholic by educating students from diverse backgrounds in a Catholic community, challenging each individual to live as a Christian witness in service to others.

Communications is a class designed to help students develop their conversational and social communication skills. Communication is not just what we say, it is also how and why we say it. This class allows students to learn and grow in their everyday communication skills and soft skills with the help of adults and peers to better set them up for success as they grow in their independence. The class includes whole group, small group, and individual practice using a variety of resources with real world practice in the community.

Workplace Development is a class designed to help students develop their interpersonal and job-related skills to gain future employment. As high school-aged students transition, it is important to develop skills related to the workplace to better ensure the chances of maintaining employment in the future. Students work on interview skills, job readiness skills, and explore post-secondary opportunities. This class allows students to practice their skills inside of the classroom, with mentors, and in their community.
