The Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama is pleased to announce that the Tuscaloosa County Chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (TCC SCLC) has officially joined the Adopt-A-School Program, adopting Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School for the 2025 school year.
Through this partnership, TCC SCLC is committed to providing resources, mentorship, and programmatic support to students, staff, and parents at Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary. This collaboration aligns with the core values of the SCLC—social justice, leadership, and community empowerment—and aims to foster a nurturing educational environment where all students can thrive.
“We are excited to join forces with Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary School and support its mission to provide an unparalleled education for every child,” said Rev. James Williams, president of the Tuscaloosa chapter. “This is a great opportunity to give back to our community and help shape the future of the next generation of leaders.”
Throughout the year, TCC SCLC will implement leadership development programs, literacy initiatives, culture and civility training, and special events to engage students and families. This collaboration exemplifies the spirit of the Adopt-A-School Program, which connects businesses and organizations with local schools to enhance educational opportunities in West Alabama.
