Partners in Education [PIE] [Hillcrest Partners]
The partners in Education program links businesses and organizations with schools in relationships that enhance student learning and promote school improvement. In a partnership, a business adopts a school, or schools, and shares its human and material resources. It is a program organized by Orange County Public schools. Hillcrest Elementary promotes the program through its volunteer resource, Hillcrest PTA.
Education and business are so closely related that each flourishes from the support and prosperity of the other. Schools must prepare today's students for their entry into a diverse, competitive work force. When businesses take part in the education of these young people, they help strengthen the work force of the future. The Partners in Education program is vital in helping the community and the school system work and grow together.
