More than 250 business, community leaders and Dougherty County School System representatives crowded into the Hilton Garden Inn Conference Center Wednesday as the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce and the local public school system recognized their Partners in Excellence at a Rise N Shine Breakfast.
The Partners in Excellence Program, celebrating its 27th year, is the school system’s premier school/business partnership program that pairs businesses, community organizations, and civic organizations with schools to promote excellence in education.
The primary goal of the Partners in Excellence Program is to strengthen and enrich the instructional programs in schools thereby ensuring that all students graduate with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required for life-long learning and successful functioning as members of the workforce, community, and society
At the gathering, the DCSS welcomed 34 new Partners into the fold.
