ABOUT CIS ROWAN

Since 1998, Communities In Schools (CIS) of Rowan County has been a key support system for local students. We started at Knox Middle School.

Our goal: to help students overcome challenges. For 25 years, we've grown. We now help students stay in school and succeed in life. We know that despite our deep roots in Rowan County, many people are unaware of the work we do. We're here to change that.
