From school year 1997 through school year 2002, Macon County Schools has received ten Goals 2000 Grants totaling approximately $360,000.  These grants were written by teachers, administrators and/or supervisors to strengthen the educational/instructional/technological program which will allow all children in Macon County to achieve a higher standard of learning. 
Macon County School System was awarded a grant that funded the Macon County Coordinated School Health Program (CSHP).  Through the funding of this grant, the school system was able to have a school health coordinator and a nurse in each school.  The program offers decisive school leaders who are focused on health as a priority to make a critical difference in improving the lives of children.
