Communities in Schools and Edna High School

Our mission is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Based directly inside schools throughout the Golden Crescent area, Communities In Schools connects children and their families to basic and critical educational and community-based resources, tailored to each student’s specific needs.
