Mission

The mission of Greenville Public Schools is to provide all students with a quality education that adheres to rigorous and challenging standards so that they will experience success and become productive members of society.

Communities in Schools

On any given day, millions of school children need something to do between the time school gets out and their parents come home. Communities throughout the United States are responding with after-school programs that provide a safe place for children to be while encouraging academic enrichment.   Greenville Public Schools partners with the Mid-Delta Workforce Alliance to implement a Communities in Schools program. CIS is the nation's leading community-based organization helping kids to succeed in school and to prepare them for life.

The five basic elements of CIS are: a personal, one-on-one relationship with an adult, an educator, a local businessperson, a government official, a religious leader, or a community volunteer who cares; a safe place for children to learn and grow; a marketable skill a child can use after graduation; a chance to "give back" to their community; and a healthy start.

All GPSD schools participate through an active volunteer program and an Adopt-A-School program which includes approximately 175 local businesses, individuals, civic organizations and government agencies who donate personal and financial resources to the schools of their choice.
