The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (CCLC)

The 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC), After-school Programs of the McComb School District, McComb, Mississippi, are open to students enrolled in the McComb School District. The program offers academic, STEM, STEAM, artistic, and cultural enrichment opportunities to students and their families during non-school hours, before school, after school, and during summer recess. Activities vary from site to site. Our academic enrichment opportunities aim to meet state and district performance standards in core academic subjects such as reading and math. Students are given healthy snacks/meals each day before activities begin. Communication between parents and the after-school staff is an important part of the program.
