Partners In Education
Partners in Education is sponsored by the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, the Marietta City Schools system and the Cobb County School System. The PIE program is designed to establish a voluntary relationship between a business/organization and a school in order to:
- Support and enrich the education of students;
- Encourage and support school faculty and staff;
- Promote community strength and identify needs; and
- Provide business employees and organization members the opportunity to identify the successes and needs of the public school systems.
Marietta City Schools appreciates the contributions of these community businesses and organizations that help make our schools a better place to learn and work.
