The Jackson area cluster embraced several members of a 9th grade class at Lexington's J.J. McClain High School in 2009. The numbers dwindled from 7 or 8 to a final 5 in 2010. These students were transported 52 miles one way to Jackson once per month for holy days, junior youth classes, and special outings. They underwent training in academic support.
They attended the Baha'i Youth
Conference in Atlanta. All five entered college on three different campuses in
fall 2013. Three are now active tutors
for Jackson Junior Youth classes.
The Jackson Area Cluster takes pride
in having engaged, mentored and cultivated this group of at-risk 9th grade
students into rising college sophomores. We trust this is economic development.
