In 1995, the Northwest Schools and business partnerships began as an initiative of the superintendent and the Board of Education. The purpose of these partnerships is to link schools and businesses in order to provide support in accomplishing the district's mission, vision and focus of improving student achievement, and educating tomorrow’s leaders today.
