By Kim Morrison Mount Airy City School Superintendent
Editor’s Note: This is the first of a three-part series submitted by Mount Airy City Schools Superintendent Kim Morrison about the system’s School-to-Work program.
Mount Airy City Schools is proud of its decades-long efforts on the school to work pipeline. An outcome of public school is to make sure all children grow up to be productive adults. They need to find their way through life, setting goals, and working to attain those goals. Each child is created with unique gifts, talents, and abilities. The earlier we discover those and help the child pursue their passion the better. Mount Airy City Schools is committed to supporting every child, every day as they decide whether they need a high school diploma, a two-year degree, or a four-year degree to be in the career made just for them.
