Red Bank Neighborhood Pride Hosts Presentation To Reveal Revitalized Red Bank High School

Thursday, July 26, 2012

The Red Bank Neighborhood Pride Association is hosting a meeting on Monday, Aug. 13, at 6:30 p.m. to provide citizens the opportunity to see a short film and presentation about recent improvements made at the Red Bank High School.  The meeting will take place at the Red Bank Community Center, located behind Erlanger North, just off Morrison Springs Road.

Be Part of the Pride is a group of Red Bank parents, teachers, and students, along with citizens, community groups, and companies, working together to revitalize the Red Bank High School.  While work has been on-going, a work week was hosted in July and hundreds of volunteers turned out to help make improvements to the school.

Red Bank Neighborhood Pride Chairperson, Carla Quinn, said, "The most important thing here is the effect we can have on the learning and attitude of our kids.  At the same time, we will be stimulating the desirability of Red Bank.  This is what the Neighborhood Pride is all about.  You know, these students are our future community leaders and citizens.  We want them to be rooted in this community."

The meeting will be Monday, August 13, at the Red Bank Community Center behind Erlanger North, just off Morrison Springs Road.  The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will last about one hour.
