Education gains energize county schools
The county shows growing interest in education as both young and old pursue improvement. Opportunity schools attract those denied schooling in youth, with the community supporting signups. At school assembly the sixth and seventh grades performed, the high school staged a play, and a road to the west is being graded. A vocational agriculture class built eight seats, a parent teacher association was formed, and ongoing Sunday school and youth meetings invite participation.
