Memphis
Partners for Academic Success (MPAS) enhances existing public/private
partnerships to raise academic achievement and increase awareness of
career opportunities in high priority schools. Research indicates that
the more students are supported by a network of adults who are committed
to their success, the more likely they are to feel comfortable at school
and to be engaged in their school work. Meaningful community involvement
is a powerful connection that produces positive results. Strong schools
mean stronger communities. MPAS expands current programs to improve
student achievement in a systematic manner that will connect the curriculum
to the workforce development needs of Memphis.
