In New Hanover County, Students are invited based on test scores and performance those deemed “at-risk,” get a chance to recover credits and learn foundational skills in the six-week program.
According to three women who are helping to run it in New Hanover County Ashley Goodlet, Kimberly Fullard, and Anita Brown so far, it’s been a success.
