A community literacy lab opens today at Whitfield County’s Southeast Whitfield High School thanks to a $100,000 grant from hardware retailer Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation.
Dubbed the Raider Nation Literacy Lab, the public service will bring the Internet, computer technology and books together to enhance users’ resource skills, provide opportunities for lifelong learning and develop technical abilities as part of job skills, officials said.
“We’re hoping to be up and running in the second week of September,” Southeast Whitfield High School Principal Karey Williams said Thursday before an open house.
Officials still are working out an operating schedule and staffing, Williams said.
