The National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS) at Johns Hopkins University celebrates the good work of schools, districts, and organizations that earned NNPS Partnership Awards over the years. With strong Leaders for Partnerships, these sites implemented research-based approaches for goal-linked partnership programs and practices. They worked to welcome and engage family and community partners in ways that contributed to student success in school. The sites worked with NNPS for at least two years—some for many more. They submitted evidence of how they organized and improved their programs of family and community engagement.
