Strong Partnerships = Strong Schools!

  • Welcome to the Division of Community Engagement & Strategic Partnerships

    Our team is dedicated to creating and supporting partnerships among schools, families, and the Athens-Clarke County community. 

    As a central resource for family engagement, our staff strives to engage with our essential partners (parents/guardians, the ACC community) to help our students achieve academic goals. We are responsible for communicating the goals, objectives, and priorities of the Clarke County School District and strive to provide our families and community with accurate and timely information. 

    The Clarke County School District is “Better Together” because of our community partners — we share a commitment to educational achievement for today’s students and the preparedness of tomorrow’s workforce.
