Job Olympics 2026

 Job Olympics is a competition designed to promote transition and employability skills for a diverse group of high school students in special education. It provides students with meaningful opportunities to practice and strengthen these skills throughout the year, helping prepare them for future employment.

Pendergrass Fairwold hosted its first Job Olympics in the spring of 2022. Since then, the event has continued to grow as a platform for students to demonstrate their abilities in employment, independent living, and essential soft skills.

The 2026 Job Olympics marked a significant milestone as we welcomed four schools, including our own, to participate and showcase their students’ talents. Competitors engaged in a variety of events that reflected the skills they have developed over the year. Students earned Bronze, Silver, and Gold placements, while all participants were recognized with medals and certificates for their hard work and dedication.
