In close partnership, four institutions provide Alleghany County residents with a wide array of educational resources. For a more complete survey of their services, click on their name or on the links to these facilities at the upper left of this page. Those institutions are:
The Alleghany County Board of Education is responsible for primary (elementary) and secondary (high school) public education. It operates one high school -- Alleghany High -- and three elementary schools -- Piney Creek Elementary School in western Alleghany County, Sparta Elementary in the center and Glade Creek Elementary in the East. Alleghany High School is home to the A. Anderson Huber Cyber Campus, a state-of-the-art technology resource center, offering distant learning in one of three teleconferencing classrooms, video editing and production facilities, broadcasting on cable Channel 50 and a computer lab/community access site.
This state-of-the-art technology resource center offers distant learning to students enrolled in Alleghany High School and Wilkes Community College, as post-graduate courses to teachers and certification classes for local professionals. It features three teleconferencing classrooms, video editing and production facilities, broadcasting on cable Channel 50 and a computer lab/community access site.
This community college serves residents at its main campus in Wilkesboro (Wilkes County), West Jefferson (Ashe County) and Sparta (Alleghany County) with coursework leading to certification, diplomas and associate degrees in Arts and Sciences, Business and Public Services, Health Sciences and Industrial & Engineering Technology. In Sparta, coursework is offered at the satellite campus and at the A. Anderson Huber Cyber Campus. The college looks to spring of 2003 when it is scheduled to join the Blue Ridge Business Development Center in new quarters at 15 Atwood Street, located adjacent to Alleghany High School and the A. Anderson Huber Cyber Campus.
The Blue Ridge Business Development Center was established to revitalize and diversify the local economic base by transitioning our community to a new technology-based economy. The BDC focuses on recruiting, creating and training high quality, new and existing businesses, industry and jobs in order to provide technological diversification throughout the community through tailor-made training, business counseling services, incubation space, and flexible physical space in the form of offices, work stations, meeting facilities and potential small building sites. Presently in temporary quarters, the BDC looks forward to spring 2003 when it will join Wilkes Community College in new quarters at Atwood Street, located adjacent to Alleghany High School and the A. Anderson Huber Cyber Campus. |
