Family Resource Center

The Kentucky Family Resource Centers were established as a component of the historic Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA) of 1990. One of the many missions of the school based Centers is to help academically at-risk students succeed in school by helping to minimize or eliminate non-cognitive barriers to learning.

The Newton Parrish Family Resource Center collaborates with community agencies to provide programs, service and referrals to meet the specific needs of our student and family client population.
