Youth Enrichment Services of Baldwin County

Youth Enrichment Services is a collaborative project of GC&SU, Baldwin County Schools, Baldwin County Parks & Recreations Department, and local citizens. Its mission is to raise achievement and educational aspirations for students in grades 6-12 as well as their adult family members. Working together, Y.E.S. hopes to build a whole community that says “yes” to making promises come true by increasing graduation rates, nurturing curiosity, and realizing deeper levels of literacy in both students and adults in our community.

For more information about the Y.E.S. Program at Oak Hill, contact Jan Tharpe, Y.E.S. Educational Coordinator.

Teachers working with the Y.E.S. program at Oak Hill Middle School are:

Wendell Anderson, Adam Argoe, Kurtina Cordy, Jeff Harder, Alicia Jenkins, Beth McCoy, Betty O'Steen, Deborah Pettepher,
Megan Tiedeman, Lyle Van de Mark, Ian LeFranc, and Debra Whiteside,
