Coal Creek Scholars serve as role models for Briceville Elementary School students. On 17 December 2007, they visited Briceville School and explained how going to college can make your dreams come true. But first, you must work hard in middle school and high school and become involved in community service efforts.
Ten former Briceville students who are now attending college came back to their old school and spoke to the current 4th and 5th graders to tell them about the importance of attending college.
Briceville Principal Ron Spencer also told the students that developing good study skills is important to succeeding. College is fun, but studying key.

The college students told of their experiences not only in their school work, but also their extracurricular activities like softball, sports, joining in clubs and groups for dance, Frisbee, business clubs, bubble-tent clubs, and other fun ways to be social, make new friends, and experience new life adventures.
