ESL Department in College and Career Readiness
In CCR, our performance is measured in very precise terms. This past program year, thanks to the incredible performance of our ESL department, we achieved the best Performance numbers out of any of the big schools in NC and we were 9th overall! All this in the midst of a pandemic! Way to go, ESL!

College and Career Readiness
Pre-COVID, our department offered ~5% of our programming online. Today, 95% of our programming is delivered online, including learners with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities and ESL learners with NO English skills! Our CCR team has made the Impossible Possible! Great Job, everyone!!

Faith has been working so very hard this year and has gone above and beyond to make sure that as many of our CCR students as possible have a laptop with which they can access online courses and know how to use them well enough to succeed. She truly deserves kudos for a job excellently done!

Mr. Charles Powell
Thanks for going above and beyond your teaching requirements for ACC 221 online class. I have never had a online class with so much instructor interaction and it has been really enjoyable and I finally feel like a member of the class (in an online class). Thank you for having the weekly live meeting.
