Yesterday we had the privilege of welcoming a wonderful group of leaders from Levy County School Board to The Rock Program to learn more about our mission, operations, and the process behind serving students with essential needs.

A special thank you to Superintendent Tammy Boyle, Principal Dee Westfall, Education Foundation Executive Director Annie Whitehurst, and Williston Police Chief Mike Rolls for taking the time to visit, ask great questions, and see firsthand how partnerships can make a lasting impact on young people.

We truly appreciate your interest and look forward to the opportunity to continue working together to empower students and strengthen our communities.
