HEROES - Hightower's Mentoring Program

Many of us know the African proverb that truthfully declares, "It takes a village to raise a child." Helping children become successful and healthy adults is a huge job that is way too big for one or two people!

HTE has a long history of having a school-wide mentoring program (HEROES). In addition, Rockdale County Public Schools has a community wide mentoring program that is always looking for interested adults who want to play and important role in the life of a child.

HEROES (Hightower Elementary Reaches Out to Every Student) is a program where all the faculty and staff develop a relationship with one or more students in order to encourage them and be another caring adult in their life. The program is kicked off each year in September or early October.

If you would like to nominate your child for HEROES see Ms. Perry. If you or someone from your community or neighborhood is interested in volunteering as a mentor or helper for special lunches & events, please contact Ms. Perry via email, in person or phone (770-388-0751).
