Schools as Centers of Community: A National Search for Excellence

Public Education Network is a proud partner in KnowledgeWorks Foundation?s 2005 "Schools as Centers of Community: A National Search for Excellence." Each year KnowledgeWorks Foundation and its partners search across the country for excellent schools that successfully model the growing trend to build schools as centers of community. The top selected school, chosen by a panel of national experts, receives the "Richard W. Riley Award for Excellence" and a $5,000 grant. The panel also selects several schools with innovative design elements and initiatives to be members of the "Schools as Centers of Community Honor Society" and be part of the National Search website. Submissions will be accepted from March 1 through June 24, 2005. For details, visit:
