Ministers in Action: Pastors with a Presence is a group of local ministers who have volunteered to become mentors for our students. They held a roundtable discussion to hear ideas and input from students and administrators alike. Together they were able to develop a innovative solution to address issues both in the classroom and at home. We hope that this program will bridge a gap and provide additional support for our students so that they can succeed in life. They will begin having a presence in our schools beginning February 23, 2024. We are grateful for their assistance and their willingness to impact the live of our scholars.
