First, Secretary Cardona and Canada will visit Roy G. Eversole Elementary School to tour the early childhood education center and hear from parents and families about their experiences. Afterward, they will visit Perry County Central High School to learn more about the school’s efforts to lift student voices. The events will end at Hazard Community and Technical College where they will discuss the importance of programs that serve children and young people from birth to career.
