Dr. Kendra Boggess, Concord University's president, and Dr. Joetta Basile, Superintendent, signed the memorandum of understanding allowing James Monroe students to participate in the program. The Pathways program is a FREE program that will aid students who are interested in majoring in Education, Cybersecurity, Nursing, or Social Work in getting a head start on their degrees while they are still in high school. Students entering the program can then complete a 4-year program in 2 years following high school. The program will begin this Fall, 2025. Any students that are interested are encouraged to stop by the guidance office to pick up pamphlets with more information."
