The shop is called the Dixie PIT，which stands for Power in Transition.Although some of the students are not disabled，many are，and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs.They keep a timecard and receive paychecks，which they keep in check registers. Special­education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.
