Cathy Mitchell, celebrated

HR 168 is a resolution passed by the Alabama House of Representatives to commend Cathy Mitchell for her 24 years of service as Executive Director of the IMPACT Learning Center in Jackson County. It specifically recognizes her work expanding educational opportunities, including establishing pre-K programs, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library (which delivered 70,000 books to young children), and community initiatives like adult computer classes and STEM Family Activity Nights. The resolution formally celebrates her retirement effective January 2026 and expresses gratitude for her dedication to improving education and community support in Scottsboro and Jackson County.
