Community Education serves as the link between our schools and our community. It is a collaborative approach to education that has concern for all aspects of living in a community. Community Education recognizes learning as a lifelong process and seeks to promote educational opportunities for people of all ages. Classes are scheduled throughout the year and may include anything from computers and foreign language to hobbies such as cake decorating or candy bouquet design. In addition, you may see Community Education as one of the partners at many events throughout the county. There are six components to Community Education. Each component demonstrates the high expectations we have for our students, staff, parents and community members. Community Education believes that ALL must work together to achieve success.
