Every community needs leaders.
Getting Coal Creek students to college
is one way to groom community leaders
of the future.
Briceville School 4th and 5th graders with Coal Creek Scholars
We think the children are the hope for the future of Coal Creek. If we get the students educated, they can take care of their own watershed. When Briceville students see successful college students who were just a few years ago sitting in the very same desk where they are now sitting, it lets them know that they, too, can attend college in a few years.
On Friday, December 17, 2004, former Briceville School students, now in college, met with Briceville 4th and 5th grade students at the third annual Coal Creek Scholars Day. In the eyes of the 4th and 5th graders, the college students stand 10 feet tall and are role models. The college students told about their college life and answered questions from their younger peers.

Photos, college brochures, and even Amy Dugger's recently awarded Lincoln Memorial University Homecoming crown were brought to share with the Briceville students. A question and answer session followed the scholars' presentations. This was fun and inspiring!!!!
