Family Resource Center

Developed as part of the Kentucky Education Reform Act of 1992, Family Resource and Youth Service Centers were created to help remove non-academic barriers so that students can succeed in school. Shearer's Family Resource Center is here to assist families with basic needs, parenting programs, community referrals, etc. We are also here to motivate our students by developing and implementing programs through our center. The Shearer FRC supports ALL families, every student, and our wonderful staff.
