Years 13-20
Rural Education Achievement for Community Hope
As a P-20 System Model, Hamlin Collegiate ISD is committed to supporting students from Pre-K through Year 20. The Edu-REACH program recognizes the critical importance of nurturing talent within rural communities. By offering local, adult students the opportunity to pursue degrees and certifications without the burden of relocation, Edu-REACH seeks to bridge the educational gap that many rural communities encounter. The project bolsters local economies by ensuring that students can access relevant post-secondary education and apprenticeships in their respective communities.
Through the Edu-REACH initiative, we envision a future where non-traditional, rural students have the resources, support, and opportunities needed to thrive in their local communities. Adults of rural Texas interested in attending a post-secondary institution for the first time, those returning, and/or joining a Registered Apprenticeship Program can contact Shannon Morrow (locally) at smorrow@hamlin.esc14.net or Brittany Williams (regionally) at bwilliams@edu-nation.org.
