Last year,
61
partnerships were developed and
as a part of this program, staff from Grand Canyon University
(GCU)
partnered with school administration at Bernard Black Entrepreneur Academy and Tomahawk Elementary School, “At GCU we are always looking at ways to provide outreach to our community, so we jumped right on board when we heard about the ‘Partner with a Principal’ program
,” Dr.
Carol Lippert,
Assistant Vice President at GCU said.
“It was a way for us to get individuals from GCU who maybe aren’t as familiar with how K-12 schools work and operate on a regular basis, and to explore ways for us to partner with those schools in the future.”

<span style="" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="auto">Laveen School District also partnered with Chasse Building Team and Vulcan Materials Company. Dr. Jeff Sprout, superintendent of Laveen District says, “The keyword in our relationship with Vulcan and Chasse is “evolving.” The greatest aspect of these relationships is they evolve with the needs of the district, but also throughout that relationship we hear about their needs as well and so that helps us to equip our students to be their future workforce.” </span>
