School Districts
| Alcorn School District
is determined to be on the cutting edge of innovation and has set the wheels in motion to
provide its students financial-aid and educational opportunities that will prepare them
for jobs in high-demand sectors and in skilled trades. The district has recently formed a
501-C3 foundation and is currently working to raise two million dollars to establish an
endowment fund. The interest from that money will be used to offer student scholarships,
classroom grants, apprenticeship grants, etc. In addition to raising endowment funds, the
district is working on plans for a new career and vocational center. Doors have opened for
them to acquire land adjacent to the NEMCC Extension Center, which is in the heart of
industrial park. An architectural firm has been retained to start work on the plans, and
the district has contacted several members of the state legislature to promote its plan
and to discuss possible funding options. Providing a state-of-the-art career center will
help our students graduate from high school work-force ready. The location is ideal for
apprenticeships, internships, and job shadowing because the students will have easy access
to businesses and industries. If you would like to partner with the district, contact
Career Coach Rebecca Lewis at (662)415-0171 or rlewis@alcornschools.org.. |
