Education Advocacy

We've all grown up with the three R's of learning, but did you know that they no longer stand for Reading, Writing and Arithmetic? In today's parlance, these now stand for Rigor, Relevance and Relationships. This is but one way that the school environment has changed dramatically from when many of us attended school.

At Champions of Education, we realize that in order to support our students and schools it is important for community and business leaders to know what the issues are that have a direct impact on our student performance in Catawba County.Here is how we provide you with the latest information.
