Communities In Schools (CIS) came to Delaware in 1992 after Dave Campbell, Superintendent of the Colonial School District heard CIS founder Bill Milliken speak on the importance of building relationships with young people in order to help them succeed in school. Shortly thereafter, the precursor to CIS of Delaware, Cities in Schools of New Castle County began at Wm. Penn High School.
Since that time, project sites have opened at Brandywine High School, Thomas McKean High School and Howard High School of Technology. In November 2003, we opened the newest site at Georgetown Elementary School in the Indian River School District. We are also hoping to see additional project sites open in Kent and Sussex Counties within the next 1-2 years.
