Cleveland Empowerment Foundation Makes Donation

On December 21, 2023, the Cleveland Empowerment Foundation presented a donation in the amount of $6,500 to the Alcorn State University Foundation.  The Cleveland Empowerment Foundation (CEF) is the nonprofit arm of The Kirkland Group that supports afterschool and summer programs for middle school students. The programs focus on literacy, mathematics, science, physical education, and the arts. The CEF scholarship fund was established in honor of Malcoln Kirkland, Jr. to help students attending a historically black college or university in Mississippi. The CEF board chair, Carla Kirkland, along with the other board members are very appreciative to everyone who provided contributions towards the scholarship.

What our clients are saying...

The Kirkland Group has supported teachers and leaders in elementary, middle, and high schools across our district for several years. On every level, we’ve seen gains in teacher effectiveness and student achievement. The team has provided expertise, flexibility, and customer service in a collaborative effort to serve all of our children and families.

Clinton Public School District Tim L. Martin, Ed.D., Superintendent

Heidelberg high school keithsha jones, principal.

As the superintendent of Clinton Public School District, I would like to thank The Kirkland Group, their focus on teachers and students was very evident and our teachers bought into the training that was provided because of this. They were able to communicate with our staff in a manner that lead them to new understanding regarding the standards and effective instruction. We don't utilize many consultants in CPSD, but I would not hesitate to call upon the Kirkland Group in the future as needs arise.
