19% of Kerr County residents 25 years old and over did not graduate from high school or earn an equivalency—and that doesn’t count younger dropouts! 18% of our county’s population five years and older speak some language other than English at home. 13% of our county live below the poverty level. These statistics are alarming! An individual’s ability to read, write,and speak proficiently in English, and to understand and solve problems,
directly affects his or her ability to function on the job, in the family, and in society. Thanks to past generous community support—and the support of our dedicated volunteers—we have a long history of enabling over 500 Hill Country adults each year... and we are passionate to do even more!
