The Mount Rogers Regional Adult Education Program has been in existence for eleven years.  The program serves the Virginia counties of Washington, Smyth, Bland, Grayson and Wythe and the cities of Bristol and Galax.  We provide leadership and support for adult education and literacy services with emphasis on the development and expansion of quality family literacy and workplace education programs.  Our core services include Adult Basic Education and Adult Secondary and English as a Second Language.  Washington County Public Schools serves as the fiscal agent for this program, and a representative from each locality serves on a governing board.
