Cowley County Head Start is celebrating 60 years of the national program’s impact on early childhood education. Established in 1965, Head Start began as a summer program to break the cycle of poverty. Cowley County joined in 1985, serving 34 children at its first location in the Presbyterian Church, thanks in part to the efforts of Dr. Nick Rogers. Over time, the program expanded to serve 147 children in Arkansas City and Winfield with a $1.8 million grant.

Director Tara Taylor highlighted Head Start’s role in shaping the community: "For four decades, Head Start has provided children with the foundation they need for a successful future." Plans are underway to celebrate this milestone while focusing on continued success in early childhood education.
