A new addition to the district this year is the ACE (Afterschool Centers on Education) program, which is in its first of a five-year grant with its partners, the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Texas and the YMCA of Greenville.

The ACE program seeks to improve overall student performance through tutoring and enrichment activities, most of which take place after school.

Current enrollment in the program is 1,214 students in kindergarten through grade 12 and of these students, 559 have

attended 30 days or more. Parents are also involved in the program, participat-ing in family events such as parenting and gardening classes, festivals, reading nights and Rock and Roll Parenting Meetings. ACE currently has a staff of 116 teachers, enrichment aides and site coordinators serving our students in the program.

“ACE receives support from the Greenville community including groups

Greenville Independent School District is taking steps to improve the quality of education offered and the way the public

views the district and its programs.
