Cleveland Center
The Cleveland Center is located the heart of beautiful, rolling farm country known as the Cleveland Community of western Johnston County.
The 7,000 square-foot building was completed in 1995 as a community educational facility, funded through the Johnston County Board of Commissioners to provide an educational and training resource for the western portion of Johnston County.
The Cleveland Center offers numerous Continuing Education courses - community service, computer, occupational training, prelicensing and certification, self-supporting - as well as adult basic education, and GED. In addition, the Cleveland Center houses the Esthetics Technology curriculum program which provides competence-based knowledge, scientific/artistic principles, and hands-on fundamentals associated with the art of skin care.
The quiet study setting along with the academic and casual atmosphere, convenient parking, and easy access from I-40 at exits 312 and 319, make the Cleveland Center an attractive alternative for many residents of Johnston County.
