The Deer Creek Promise Community (DCPC) and Leflore Promise Community (LPC) are cradle-to-career initiatives that consist of more than 30 programs serving Arcola, Hollandale, Leland, Greenwood, and surrounding unincorporated areas, with a specific focus on students in the Hollandale, Leland, and Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School Districts. Promise Community programs create pathways for local Delta students to succeed in school and launch successful careers, from prenatal care to high school graduation to post-secondary education and beyond.
