Governor's Awards for Outstanding School-Community Partnerships
Mississippi’s school-community partnerships take center stage every year during the Governor’s Awards, presented by Mississippi Association of Partners in Education. 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.
The Governor’s Awards ceremony will be held March 21, 2011, during the MAPE-PREPS Conference at the Jackson Hilton. Please check back for updates on educational seminars, guest speakers, special presentations, and other events planned for the 2012 Conference.
Winners will be announced on MAPE’s Facebook page. Be sure to follow MAPE on Facebook and be among the first to know the recipients of 2012 Governor’s Awards!
