ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM
This program pairs businesses with public schools in the Lincoln Parish School System. It exposes the businesses to public education and the schools to the business community. Business owners and employees become visible in the schools providing an atmosphere of support by offering time and funds to meet needs not otherwise served by the system. Supplies, incentives, and materials are often donated. The program also serves as the host for the annual Teacher of the Year reception.

Project ACHIEVE Ruston 21 First Fridays
When Danny Bell became superintendent of Lincoln Parish schools in 2006, he had one goal at heart--strengthen our public schools while accelerating student academics at all grade and ability levels.  Research has shown that the most successful schools not only have solid community support, but active interest and participation from its members.  Therefore his vision included the implementation of a critically important component—effective community partnerships.  Toward this effort, Project ACHIEVE was launched.  And from its beginning in August of 2006, this new initiative has worked to promote “Accelerating Children Higher In Educational Values Everywhere.”  Coordinated within the parish’s fourteen public schools, ACHIEVE provides a mechanism for strategies and resources to be customized in order to meet the unique needs of a school’s student body while positively impacting academic achievement.
