Celebrating Graduation With Uncertainty About Future


PEAPACK-GLADSTONE, N.J. — The 10 students who recently finished their education at the Matheny Medical and Educational center are starting new lives.
And decisions about that new chapter can be just as challenging for the graduates, all of whom have developmental disabilities and other complex medical conditions, said some of the graduates' parents, and the school's principal.
The students, all 21 years old, graduated June 18 from a state-approved high school program at Matheny.
Some of the parents who attended the ceremony said they felt a mixture of pride and concern about their children's futures.
