 COMMUNITY PARTNERS

IN EDUCATION

 Community Partners in Education (CPIE) is a combined effort of the Lowndes County School System, the Valdosta City School System, and the Valdosta-Lowndes County Chamber of Commerce, whose  purpose is to encourage greater student achievement in the school systems by developing partnerships  between individual schools and area businesses,  industries, civic, church and community groups.  

Community Partners in Education (CPIE) was only a dream in 1989. A task force of 10 community (business, education, and Chamber) members worked throughout the year to create CPIE.  The group created the name, the logo, the colors and the purpose for the program.  In April of 1990 the first CPIE meeting was held with 75 businesses, civic groups, and churches in attendance.  Today, CPIE has a total of 300+ partnerships and new partnerships continue to be formed each year.  CPIE partners make a positive contribution by helping to better prepare the leaders of   tomorrow—our children!
