Allen qualified to participate in an accelerated learning opportunity that allows students to progress more quickly toward taking the GED test, offered as a part of the adult education program at Eminence Christian Church, 5333 Main Street, Rankin said.

Henry County Middle School hosted the annual Reality Store that allowed middle and high school students from Eminence and Henry County to get a taste of the real world. Students were given a budget and had to go to various tables to buy things like houses, cars and insurance.
