Project CLASS (Community Leaders Assisting School with Success) is a community support program developed at the Greater Starkville Development Partnership to encourage direct support of our educators and our public education system by local churches and businesses. The project is designed to build a sustainable partnership between neighborhood churches, local businesses, civic organizations, volunteer groups and public schools by educating and equipping community volunteers to deliver direct support of students, teachers and principals in Starkville and Oktibbeha County.
