Pittsburgh Public Schools values strong partnerships with businesses, nonprofit organizations, institutions, and community leaders who share our commitment to supporting students, families, and schools. Districtwide partners play an important role in helping PPS expand opportunities, strengthen student experiences, and connect learning to the broader community.
