About The Foundation
Our Partners in Education Foundation enables local organizations to connect with schools or programs within Knox County Schools. The purpose is to enrich and expand the educational opportunities of Knox County students while promoting a deeper understanding of the school system within the community.
By establishing personal relationships between community leaders and educators, our goal is to create a spirit of involvement that has a positive impact on Knox County. This involvement helps local schools become places where community members work with students and help prepare them to succeed in an ever-changing world.

Knox County Schools gladly welcomes any group of community leaders who want to invest their time, talent and resources in students.
