Business and Community Partnerships

Danville Public Schools values business and community partnerships.  Partnerships bring the business or community organization together with the schools, students, and staff to provide opportunities and experiences that benefit not only the students and teachers but also the entire community.  The mission of Danville Public Schools is to inspire, educate, and develop students, in collaboration with families and the community, to ensure students graduate college and/or career ready.  Partnerships help with achieving this mission.

 

 

Importance of Partners

Partnerships are vital in providing our students with the best education, opportunities, and resources possible. It is the responsibility of the schools and the community to ensure our students receive a quality education.  Students are our future.  A partnership will benefit not only the school but the community as a whole by helping to develop students to be career and/or college ready.
