ICC Offers Free Tuition to High School Grads in 5 Counties

The five counties served by Itawamba Community College:  Lee, Monroe, Itawamba, Pontotoc, and Chickasaw, now have a Tuition Guarantee program for high school graduates beginning with the 2009 senior class.  This means that every student who graduates from high school in the ICC district will have two years of college that is tuition free.

The dropout prevention team for Itawamba County School District met on April 7, 2008.  The team discussed the rough draft of the district plan and the primary concerns related to students dropping out of school.  All were in agreement that communicating and informing all stakeholders would be a very important part of reducing the dropout rate in our district.
