Welcome to the Jim Tangeman Center!
At JTC, we believe every student has strengths, talents, and potential—and our job is to create opportunities for students to discover, develop, and use those strengths in meaningful ways. Our school community is dedicated to helping students build confidence, independence, and the skills they need to be successful while learning.
JTC is a unique learning community. Our students have individualized needs and goals, and our staff work collaboratively to provide instruction, support, and experiences that prepare students for their next steps. Whether students are developing academic skills, building communication, social/emotional and behavior skills, we celebrate progress and growth along the way.
We are especially proud of the strong relationships that define JTC. Our teachers, paraeducators, specialists, families, and community partners work together to ensure that students are known, supported, and challenged. We know that meaningful growth happens when we work as a team and maintain high expectations for every learner.
Thank you for being part of the JTC community. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our program, students, and the opportunities available at the Jim Tangeman Center.
We are proud of our students, grateful for our staff, and excited about what is possible when we work together.
