NC School Districts Earn Magna Award Honors

country for outstanding programs that advance student learning and encourage
community involvement in schools.

Southeastern Community College in Whiteville, N.C., won first place in the
5,000 to 20,000 enrollment category for the Southeastern Early College High
School Partnership Program.

Columbus County Schools also
received an honorable mention in the contest for its Beginning Teachers
Support Program, which was developed after the turnover rate rose from 7
percent to 13.5 percent in three years.
