Golden LEAF Foundation Grant Boosts Pathways to Prosperity Program for Randolph County

Educational partners Randolph Community College, Randolph County School System, and Asheboro City Schools were recently awarded a $960,000 grant from the Golden LEAF Foundation to further advance the Pathways to Prosperity program.

Mark Sorrells, executive vice president of the Golden LEAF Foundation, was at RCC’s Martha Luck Comer Conference Center on Thursday, July 13, to present a check to Dr. Robert Shackleford, RCC president; Dr. Stephen Gainey, Randolph County School System superintendent; and Dr. Terry Worrell, Asheboro City Schools superintendent.

“This community has its act together,” said Sorrells of Randolph County and the three school systems, explaining why Golden LEAF had decided to fund the grant request. “This community has a plan…and they are mobilizing the resources to make it happen.”
