Mission & Vision
OUR MISSION
Public Education Partners supports, strengthens, and advances public education in Greenville County.
OUR VISION
Greenville County champions public education, respects and supports teachers, and engages all families and communities in the success of our schools and students.
OUR VALUES
COLLABORATION:
We seek out and nurture deep relationships with organizations working toward a common vision for students in Greenville County Schools, and focus our work through ongoing engagement with the District itself.
OPPORTUNITY:
We center the needs of students and families who have been most impacted by systemic inequities in all aspects of our decision-making.
RESEARCH:
We ground our intentions and action by researching, aggregating, and synthesizing the best available data and evidence-based strategies.
CONTINUOUS LEARNING:
We apply insights from on-the-ground activity to inform future planning and policy priorities in an iterative cycle of assessment, reflection, and action.
INDEPENDENCE:
We work closely with Greenville County Schools while honoring our status as a separate organization that can serve as a catalyst for change.
At Public Education Partners, we believe that valuing the uniqueness of each community member is essential to our ability to fulfill our mission, lead progress to our vision, and build a community where everyone thrives. Ultimately, our work tackles institutional barriers and inequitable access rooted in systems and policies.
We define educational equity as ensuring every child gets what they need in our schools in order to learn and thrive regardless of who they are. It offers inclusive and safe school environments, and emphasizes needs, experiences, and outcomes that are adaptive to and reflective of each student.
