Action for Success is an evidence-based drop out prevention program in all Brunswick County middle schools, Lincoln Elementary, Jessie Mae Monroe Elementary, Supply Elementary, and Waccamaw School that works by building relationships that remove the barriers to learning and improve ways our community responds to needs of at-risk students and their families.
