Communities In Schools (CIS) started in Georgia more than 30 years ago and is now the nation’s leading dropout prevention organization. The CIS model has been implemented in all 11 middle schools in Henry County since August 2012. The mission of CIS is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. It is the goal of CIS to support youth by improving graduation rates, encouraging academic achievement, and promoting job and post-secondary school readiness.
