Business and Education Partnerships in Anderson School District Five exist when there is an ongoing relationship designed to address goals for academic and personal growth of students. We are fortunate to have established and maintained 202 partnerships that continue to support our students. As we reach out to form new partnerships, we strive to connect with businesses that are interested in helping set policies and practices aimed at raising student performance.
Across the nation, the quality of communities is defined by the strength of the public schools. Local businesses have a vested interested in school success. Product sales, advertisement, workplace preparedness, sponsorships, and shared resources benefit both businesses and schools.
We are interested in connecting classrooms to careers to ensure that our students are well prepared for college and employment opportunities. Collaboration with businesses helps to ensure that connections are realistic and that we are meeting the expectations of business and industry.
