Earline's Passion
Earline Parmon has always had a passion for
ensuring that every child has access to higher education. So much so, that in
1982 she founded the Lift Academy, where students who were considered to be at
risk were given a second chance to accel. In 1990 Parmon was elected to the
Forsyth County Board of Commissioners, where she would serve for 12 years. Then
in 2001 she was elected to serve as a NC State Representative for District 72.
