PACERS receive final installment of grant The Rock Island (IL) High School PACERS (Positive Achievement and Creativity Equals Righteous Success), an intensive mentoring, academic and volunteer-based program developed through school and community efforts and Western Illinois University, will receive the final $100,000 installment of the $375,000 grant from the AT&T Aspire program on December 8. The funds are part of a $48 million competitive grant program which addresses high school success and workforce readiness. Holly Nikels of the Counselor Education department is credited for developing the program, which began as a volunteer effort with no funding. She has expanded the program to what it is today - a successful program with students who can be accounted for as having completed their high school education in some way and are positively contributing to the workforce. Happy Holidays! Holiday greetings from the faculty and staff of the College of Education and Human Services - "May you have a wonderful and safe holiday season! We hope to see you soon!" |
