21st Century Community Learning Centers

The Morehouse Parish School Board proposes to provide a program of services to meet the needs of students and their families in Morehouse parish through a commitment of school and community partnership resources through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant. As a veteran 21st CCLC grantee, we would like to continue providing services during the school years 2022-2027 that include the following: 

(1) To offer a safe haven to all students after school hours;

(2) To provide opportunities for academic enrichment, including providing tutorial services, to help students meet State and local student academic achievement standards in core academic subjects such as reading and mathematics;

(3) To provide students a broad array of additional services, programs, and activities, such as youth development activities, nutrition and health education, drug and violence prevention programs, counseling programs, STEAM, visual and performing arts, music, and recreation programs, technology education programs, character education programs, career and technical programs, internship or apprenticeship programs for high school students that are designed to reinforce and complement the regular academic program of participating students; and,

(4) To provide families of students served by community learning centers opportunities for literacy and related educational development.

Our application proposal is due on April 20, 2022 by 3:30pm; however, we will submit our proposal no later than April 13, 2022. We would like to take this opportunity to invite any parties interested in the planning of our proposal to contact Maria Theresa Yabut at tyabut@mpsb.us or 318-283-3415. Thank you for allowing us to serve Morehouse Parish community.
