The Stephens County School System has been awarded grant money that will be used to improve the high school graduation rate.
At a Stephens County Board of Education work session Thursday, Superintendent Sherrie Whiten said the school system has received a federal 21st Century Community Learning Center grant.
The grant money will be used in the county for the Students Urgent Reach to Graduate and Excel (SURGE) program.
Whiten said the program focuses on a number of areas.
“The focus is on math and reading literacy, personal growth, parent involvement, and targeting economically disadvantaged students,” she said. “The overall goal is to affect the graduation rate, especially (among) the economically disadvantaged students.”
