Welcome to the Delta Circles Eliza Miller Opportunity Hub
The Opportunity Hub is located in the beautifully restored Eliza Miller School campus in Helena–West Helena. Once a pillar of community heritage, the campus has been reimagined by Delta Circles into a dynamic space that nurtures innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable community growth.
