 More Information
Business partners are an integral part of educating
students. Partners provide real-world knowledge,
content expertise, mentorship, and opportunities for student

Business partners are needed to serve as
school-wide partners and work with students in numerous ways. Business
partners are asked to attend three meetings per year and
participate in at least one additional activity. Partners

Cobb Chamber of Commerce for their service to the community.
