Atlanta Schools Public Engagement Partnerships
Overview
The Atlanta Schools Office of Public Engagement plays a crucial role in building partnerships among schools, community volunteers, teachers, parents, businesses, non-profits, and civic organizations to enhance student achievement. This office was established as part of ongoing educational reforms in Atlanta. Its main goal is to link schools with resources that positively impact student success. Some partnerships are especially innovative, involving major national corporations.
Hewlett Packard's "Bringing it Home" Program
For several years, Atlanta Schools have participated in Hewlett Packard's "Bringing it Home" program. This initiative involves HP representatives visiting over 600 schools in the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. The program encourages students, parents, and teachers to engage with technology creatively. It provides interactive experiences with digital photography and computers.
At Atlanta's Price Middle School, students explored cutting-edge technology and learned how to apply it to their assignments, enhancing efficiency. Everyone involved, including students, teachers, and the principal, benefited from this collaboration with Hewlett Packard.
Long-Term Partnership with General Electric
Since 1993, Atlanta Schools have partnered with General Electric Energy in various projects. This collaboration began with alumni working at GE who initiated tutoring and mentoring programs. Over time, it expanded to include Saturday SAT preparation, the Family Technology Resource Center, and scholarship offerings. Currently, over 1,500 GE employees are involved in these efforts, which have significantly boosted student SAT performance.
In 2002, General Electric contributed $1 million to Atlanta's Southside High School as part of its College Bound Grant Program. This was the first grant awarded in Atlanta, funding the “Strategic Design for Student Success” project. The goal is to double the number of graduates attending higher education or technical institutions by 2007.
These partnerships highlight the Atlanta Schools' commitment to leveraging community and corporate resources for the educational advancement of its students.
