MAPE

Mississippi Association of Partners in Education

About Us and Contact Information


History
MAPE has served as a statewide network of educators and community partners since 1984. MAPE was designated as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization in 1994.

Our Mission
The Mississippi Association of Partners in Education is committed solely to providing training and materials to help build local support for the success of all students.

Our Vision
We envision Mississippi having Every Community Behind Every Child.

Education and community leaders have said:
  • "The way to improve the quality of life in Mississippi is to make education the number one priority."
  • "If a school fails, then the community has failed."
  • "When the total community becomes immersed in the school, things get better. They get a lot better."
Services

- Networking through membership and regional meetings.
- Training through our State Conference, Partnership Curriculum and site-based consulting.
- Materials such as newsletters, program guidelines, forms and best practices.
- Awards and recognition through the Governor's Awards Luncheon for Outstanding School Community Partnerships.
