Kelly White Cafe

Welcome to the Kelly White Cafe – Where Every Sip Supports a Student!

Step into the heart of our school community and discover the Kelly White Cafe — your go-to spot for delicious drinks, tasty snacks, and warm smiles. Whether you're craving a fresh cup of coffee, a refreshing tea, or a sweet pastry to brighten your day, we’ve got something for everyone.

Founded in the early 2000s by a group of passionate educators, the Kelly White Cafe began as a simple coffee cart with a powerful purpose: to provide students with special needs meaningful opportunities to learn job skills and gain real-world experience. What started with just black coffee has grown into a vibrant cafe offering a variety of beverages and baked goods, all served with care by our amazing students.

Thanks to the support of teachers, paraprofessionals, and our school community, the Kelly White Cafe has become more than just a place to grab a snack — it’s a space where learning, growth, and connection happen every day.

As Cheryl Gardner, former Department Chair, beautifully said,
“The Coffee Shop has become such an important aspect of our children’s real-world experiences.”
