Issues. People. Events.

Alex Cuevas, Community Outreach Coordinator at Stone Academy, recently spoke at a higher education forum hosted by Literacy Volunteers of Greater Waterbury at the Silas Bronson Library on Grand Street.

During his presentation, Cuevas shared a brief history of Stone Academy and explained the school's proven long-term track record of training and placing local residents in careers in the hottest fields. The school's current programs focus on healthcare, because the field is growing and forecasted to grow in Connecticut for many years.
