The Centergy Project is proof that community partners, stakeholder participation, families and educators can work together to provide comprehensive interrelated layers of support needed for students to have success regardless of circumstances. This support addresses the needs of the “Whole Child” and makes success an option for every student. What an innovative idea to provide in every learning community!

By listening to student voice, Leigh and Linda have deconstructed the concept of
social-emotional needs. What starts as an effort to understand the needs of students blossoms into a multifaceted wave transforming not only the schools
but the communities surrounding them.

Superintendent Gainesville City School System
