SMITHFIELD-- Dr. Anthony Parker hosted 47 ministers and clergy representatives from throughout Johnston County Monday, May 15th for an end-of-year breakfast meeting to thank them for their support and update them on new and on-going programs in the system. The Superintendent initiated quarterly clergy meetings last year to develop a collaborative relationship on behalf of the county's students and invite increased volunteerism from churches. The agenda included an update on the Hand-in-Hand volunteer program, the High Five high school reform program, a sharing session among the clergy in attendance, and a question-and-answer period.
