Elected officials and business leaders in Vance County participated in a “Community to Schools” event on December 9, hosted by Vance County Schools.Approximately 30 officials and business leaders participated in the half-day event which was designed to show them the everyday operations of our schools and to highlight the many good things happening in local public schools.
The participants included members of the Henderson City Council, Vance County Board of Commissioners, Vance-Granville Community College department directors, Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, Henderson-Vance Economic Development Commission, Vance County Public School Foundation Board and the Vance County Board of Education.
They began their day with a light breakfast at the schools’ Administrative Services Center and then visited four local schools: STEM Early High School (shown in the first photo), Pinkston Street Elementary School; Aycock Elementary School (shown in the second photo) and Southern Vance High School. At each school, they visited with teachers and students in classrooms and learned about several special programs, including the Vance Medical Academy and Fire and Public Safety Academy. The event ended with lunch at the administrative center.
