Alumni panels - life after high school

This collection, developed by Jill Chaifetz Transfer High School, presents the practice of integrating Alumni Panels into a school-wide "Life After High School" event. The day begins with a community icebreaker, followed by reflection and visioning activities relating to students' roads to success, and culminates with interactive panels of alumni speaking about what they are doing now and how the work they did in high school supported them.
