OUR STORY
Honey Grove Educational Center began in 2001 when Bonnie Buckley identified a need for high-quality Early Childhood Education in Greenwood. With 15 years of teaching experience, Bonnie opened her first Infant through Pre-K Center on Olive Branch and SR 135. Over the years, the center expanded to include Before and After School Programs at North Grove Elementary and Center Grove Elementary, led by Bonnie's son, Adam McClurg, who joined the team in 2008. Today, Honey Grove operates 11 Before and After School Programs across Center Grove and Clark Pleasant Schools, an Early Childhood Center, and a renovated Infant Center, serving approximately 1,200 school-age and 150 infant through pre-k children.
