We are thrilled to welcome Communities In Schools to Person High School! This partnership marks an exciting step forward in our commitment to ensuring every student has the support they need to succeed both inside and outside of the classroom. CIS brings a powerful, proven model for helping students overcome academic, social, and emotional barriers to learning by connecting them with caring adults and critical resources.
At the heart of CIS is a mission that aligns seamlessly with our values: to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. With a site coordinator now embedded within our school, students will benefit from individualized support, mentorship, and case management, as well as increased access to community resources and opportunities. This relationship will enhance the work already being done by our teachers, counselors, and administrators by providing an extra layer of support where it’s most needed.
The addition of CIS at Person High School signals a hopeful and forward-thinking investment in our students’ future. As our school community continues to grow and evolve, we recognize the importance of building strong partnerships that help us meet students where they are. We are excited for the positive impact this collaboration will have in academic achievement, but in fostering resilience, confidence, and long-term success for all our Rockets.
