Community Education conceives of learning as a lifelong endeavor
providing opportunities for individual expression and improvement,
cooperative community action and creative problem solving. The

Community Education returns money to the following for use of space and equipment: AV, Business Education, Technology Resource Center, Physical Education Depts., Art Dept, Facilities and the Central Office. In F.Y. '02, Community Education also funded the new tennis courts at the Junior High School as well as the renovation of the lower level of the former Merriam School.
