Students and parents look forward to another school year at Triton High School in 2013 as they visit classes, including teacher Tony Morrison's history class. All Harnett high school students can look forward to something new with the 2014 school year, thanks to a major grant that will help fund a Career and College Advisor at each school. Harnett County Schools, in partnership with Lee County Schools, Chatham County Schools and Central Carolina Community College, has received an $800,000 Education and Workforce Innovation Fund grant for the Central Carolina Works initiative. That grant, in addition to $750,000 raised through private, corporate and foundation grants, will fund Central Carolina Works advisors. They will assist students and their parents in making choices to move the students toward their academic or vocational goals, including taking classes at CCCC tuition-free while they are still in high school.
