INDIANAPOLIS (Inside INdiana Business) Five Indiana counties have new county historians after their appointments by the Indiana Historical Society and Indiana Historical Bureau. The new historians in Pulaski, Delaware, Vigo, LaPorte and Shelby counties will serve three-year terms.
Mary Conner is the new appointee in Pulaski County as she currently serves as a docent at the Pulaski County Historical Society, and also owns a family farm awarded the Hoosier Homestead Award.
New Delaware County Historian Karen Vincent serves as board president of the Delaware County Historical Society and recently retired from Minnetrista in Muncie. She has also served as past president of the Association of Indiana Museums.
Five Indiana high schools will join the Rural Early College Network (RECN) to help students earn college credit while they complete their high school education. Each school will receive $120,000 over three years as they work with the University of Indianapolis Center for Excellence in Leadership of Learning (CELL) and a mentor high school.
CELL established the Rural Early College Network through a $7.9 million grant from the federal Education Innovation and Research program administered by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. RECN helps rural Indiana schools more quickly implement the Early College high school model. Early College targets underserved students and allows them to earn both high school diplomas and up to two years of credits toward bachelor’s or associate degrees through rigorous dual credit classes supported by wrap-around services.
