After School Programs
Mission
Our mission is to provide a high quality education for all Bibb County students in a safe and comfortable environment, and to make use of all human and technological resources in preparing graduates for post-high school objectives.
History
The Bibb County ASP has been enriching students' lives for over a decade. The program began with two schools and has now grown to sites at 26 schools. Each site offers several specialized programs, but all focus on four core components: Homework Help, Academic Enrichment, Afternoon Snack and Recreational Activities.
