Stokes County’s community college campus is becoming reality--Early College High School opens on the site

(By Leslie Bray Evans, The Stokes News) - The mood was jubilant as the first buses rolled into the parking lot of the Stokes Early College High School on Monday, August 9. And the emotion wasn’t just about the first day of school.

For those who had dreamed of having a community college campus in Stokes County, the dream was finally coming to fruition.

“Mr. Chairman and members of the Board,” Stokes County Manager Bryan Steen addressed the county commissioners on Monday afternoon, “this morning, your promise to provide a facility that would enable provision of an educational opportunity through the Stokes County School System and Forsyth Tech became reality, and students arrived today for Early College High School at the facility you provided in Stokes County on Dodgetown Road.”
