Project CHANGE Evening School

For students that have failed classes and gotten off track for graduation, Burke Community Partnership provides a means for students to take night classes to get caught up and back in line for graduation. Project CHANGE Evening School classes are offered at Burke County High School and Burke Community Partnership pays partial tuition for students from low-income families.

The program helped to make my family’s dream come true. With the help of the evening school program, my cousin was able to graduate on time. This is a testimony that the program works. His plan is to enlist in the U.S. Navy this summer. Project Change Evening School has prepared him for the challenges that that he will face in the future. Please accept the sincere gratitude of our family. –Thaddeus Shubert, Family Member
