The 21st Century Education Foundation (21st CEF), in conjunction with AACPS, is pleased to announce the nominees for this year’s Partner of the Year Awards.
These organizations and businesses would have been recognized at the inaugural Partners in Education Awards Reception that was canceled due to COVID-19 closures. Instead, there will be a social media campaign highlighting the honorees during the week of June 15, and the winners will be announced on June 23, 2020. To be a part of this online celebration, please follow @AACPSPartners on Twitter.
In support of the school system’s strategic plan, community and business partners afford students amazing opportunities to explore their personal interests, engage in unique learning experiences, and interact with professionals from a variety of career fields.
