2017 Partner of the Year

Special thanks to our 2017 Partners!

Public Education Partners’ mission is to collaborate with community partners to support and strengthen student achievement in Greenville County Schools to ensure every child will graduate ready for college, careers, and civic responsibility.

For more than 30 years, the aid of our partners has helped PEP better fulfill its mission. In 2017, with the support of the following partners, PEP supported excellent teaching in our schools through the OnTrack Greenville Middle Grades Success Initiative and the Greenville Alternative Teacher Education (GATE) program, built home libraries for more than 18,000 elementary students through Make Summer Count, and served the larger Greenville community through advocacy efforts and collective impact partnerships.
