The purpose of this grant is to assist with the implementation of a comprehensive plan to improve the quality, relevance and rigor of education in Wilson County. Golden LEAF funds will be used to provide laptop computers to approximately 1,300 students at Hunt High School in grades 9-12. Wilson County Schools believes that the change in instructional practice among teachers and enriched learning environments for students provided by the dedicated access to a laptop will facilitate marked improvement in all academic areas as measured by end-of-course assessments and graduation rates. SAS and NC State University’s Friday Institute are partners in the project.
