North Adams Schools Open for Business

September 6, 2007

…Brayton Elementary held a similar morning program; Greylock Elementary held an ice cream sundae social last week and Conte Middle School an open house with activities on Tuesday night. Drury High School students were returning to a building being set up for wireless Internet access and a new program designed to encourage the pursuit of higher education.

The Massachusetts Campus Compact College Access Corps, funded by a $1 million grant from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, selected Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts as a host site for a full-time college adviser and liaison who will work with MCLA’s partner school — Drury High.

“Hopefully, it will make college realizable for more students,” said Drury Principal Amy Meehan last week.
