Mississippi’s school-community partnerships take center stage every year during the Governor’s Awards, presented by Mississippi Association of Partners in Education. MAPE honored a record 18 partnership programs during the 2012 awards luncheon.
The Governor's Award recognizes creative, results-oriented partnerships that emphasize student achievement in reading, science and math, the arts, fitness and health, community involvement, and many other areas that are vital to academic enrichment.
