West Chicago Community High School is getting into the custom-designed T-shirt and hoodie business.
WeGo Tees is a microbusiness created especially for District 94 s special education transition program. It aids students between the ages of 18 to 21 who have intellectual or developmental disabilities.
For a few years now, we ve been looking for something in-house that could provide the students with job and social skills, said transition coordinator and vocational specialist Jen Walker.
WeGo Tees had its soft opening this spring, with the first major job being an order of 600 Wildcat Pride T-shirts to be included in fall freshmen orientation kits. WeGo Tees will officially seek more jobs for designing and producing apparel for high school clubs and organizations this fall.
