Caskey exceeds expectations, future looks even better

PINEVILLE  The Caskey School of Divinity exceeded expectations in the fall semester and spring looks even better.

When Charles Quarles Ph.D. was preparing for the launch of the divinity school’s fall 2011 classes he expected perhaps 30 students to enroll in the school, which is located on the Louisiana College campus. By the time the divinity school opened its doors, 56 students had enrolled.

Attendance has now risen to about 70 and Quarles said an enrollment of 100 for the fall 2012 semester wouldn’t surprise him.
