NARIOP (New Light At Risk Intergenerational Outreach Program)

In 2003 Guilford County Schools partnered with Rev. Dr. Cardes H. Brown Jr. and New Light Missionary Baptist Church to develop an opportunity for students to engage in an alternative learning environment while suspended from school.
NARIOP is the acronym for New Light At Risk Intergenerational Outreach Program. It is designed to provide students with additional support and help reduce loss academic time during a suspension. These students must attend GCS and have committed a violation addressed in the GCS Student Handbook.
Schools are encouraged to refer NARIOP to GCS students, parents and guardians
