COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF HIGH POINT, INC., PRESENTS...

Communities In Schools is the nation’s leading organization dedicated to empowering students to stay in school and achieve in life.

​

The mission of Communities In Schools is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

​

By bringing caring adults into the schools to address children’s unmet needs, CIS provides the link between educators and the community. The result: teachers are free to teach, and students – many in jeopardy of dropping out – have the opportunity to focus on learning.

​

• A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult

• A safe place to learn and grow

• A healthy start and a healthy future
