Continuing a nine-year commitment

Honoring a nine year contractual agreement with NC Department of Transportation’s Adopt-A-Highway Program, sixty Greene Early College students recently combed Middle School Road bagging trash.  Under the leadership of English teacher, Natasha Martin, applied in September 2012 to DOT for the 1.2 mile road to be adopted by the school. 

The agreement required that the clean-up occur 4 times a year.  Although, a short stretch of road, it is very historically significant to Greene County.  The year before, April 16, 2011, the Middle School was completely destroyed by a tornado which also ravaged many homes and businesses in the county.  Having special meaning and memories for GEC students, Middle School Road was a deserving choice for GEC.
