Students at Sharyland Independent School District with special needs will soon have a facility to attend after graduation. 

The district broke ground Monday on their 18+ Transition Program facility that will be located next to Garza Elementary School.

The facility will offer a college-like experience. Students will learn life skills, soft skills, job training and more.

"Confidence, I think, is going to be the most important thing and that they have built strong relationships with resources people that they can be connected to that helps them into that next step. [I] hope they leave with jobs, hope they leave with new friendships, hope they leave with support," Sharyland ISD Superintendent Elaine Howard said.

The new facility is expected to open by next January.
