Adult school, director have much to offer community

On a recent night I went to Brick High School for a school board meeting and learned something that I wanted to share with others. I met the director of the Brick Adult School, Mr. Greg D. Cole, and was formally introduced to some of the great things Brick schools have to offer.

For some time Mr. Cole has been helping adults find educational opportunities by bringing some of the best teachers who are committed to helping adults enhance their skills. Courses on financial planning, computers, language, dance, self-improvement, and hobbies and crafts, to name a few, are available at night at a very reasonable cost. Those interested in finding out more should call (732) 262-2500.

What makes Brick a great place to live is meeting people like Mr. Cole and seeing his hard work change so many people’s lives for the better. From my conversation, I realized that he was not planning on retiring rich or seeking public fame. He was content with the role he played in our educational system, and I hope he’s around for some time to come.
