Quality education is everybody’s business

When you or your business partner with a Sarasota County District school, you make an investment that benefits individual students, your business/organization, and the entire community. By bringing real-world information, experience, and support to schools, you help students see possibilities, pursue opportunities, and develop skills. Partnering with schools produces career-ready students who become more productive and contributing adults.
