Community & Business Partnerships

Strengthening our Schools, Enriching Our Community

We believe in the power of collaboration to create a thriving educational environment. Our Community and Business Partnerships (CBP) department’s primary role is to cultivate strategic partnerships, serve as a bridge to local businesses and community organizations, and manage contributions. We are dedicated to forging strong alliances with local businesses, organizations, and community members. By working together, we can provide our students with enhanced learning opportunities, real-world experiences, and the support they need to succeed. Join us in building a brighter future for our children and our community.

The Community and Business Partnerships department plays a pivotal role in securing substantial donations of funds and valued goods, significantly enhancing the educational resources available to our students. This does not include the countless volunteer hours generously provided by our partners and mentors.

Our Mission

Our department’s mission is to build and maintain robust partnerships that enrich the educational journey of every FSPS student. By doing this, we create a collaborative educational environment where community involvement is a cornerstone of student achievement and district development.
