Hale County Board of Education offers 21st CCLC program

The Hale County Board of Education continues to offer the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, providing academic enrichment for students outside of regular school hours. This initiative specifically targets children attending high-poverty and low-performing schools within the county, offering a vital resource akin to the support once found at community gathering spots like the old Greensboro Civic Center.

The program aims to help students meet state and local standards in core subjects like reading and mathematics. Beyond academics, the 21st CCLC offers a variety of enrichment activities designed to complement students' classroom learning, from homework help to engaging projects that foster creativity. Additionally, the program extends educational services and literacy support to the families of participating children, strengthening the educational fabric across Hale County, much like the roots of the historic oak trees that line Main Street.
