The G.O.A.L. Initiative Kicks Off at Grover C. Fields Middle School

Students hit the ground running during the 1st session of The G.O.A.L. Initiative. After getting over the initial shock of the intensity of the course, these new students started to realize they could take control of their own destiny.



We were privileged to have Mrs. Karen Hobbs, Assistant District Attorney of New Bern, NC come and speak to the students about the benefits of preparing for their future right now. She detailed how her career has many demands and requires her to be focused and highly committed to excellence.






Next week the students will participate in an open house tour at Craven Community College, which is one of the premiere community colleges in the nation. Additionally we will hear from representatives from a large and influential radio station. They will share insights with the students on what they did to accomplish their goals in life.

Finally we are thankful to GCF Principal Mrs. Thomasine Hassell for her extraordinary leadership and belief that our youth are worth investing in.
Check back next week for session two!
