The Harlan County High School Youth Services Center’s mission is to improve student achievement through the removal of non-cognitive barriers to learning. This will be accomplished by promoting the flow of resources and support to families in ways to strengthen their functioning and enhance the growth and development of individual members and the Family Unit.
Believe you can, and you're already half way there.
