Partnership Organization Award Winners
2005

Four organizations are winners of the 2005 Partnership Awards from the National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS) at Johns Hopkins University. They are recognized for excellence in developing and sustaining comprehensive, goal-oriented programs of school, family, and community partnerships.

One organization received Special Recognition in 2005 and a prize of $500 for exceptional quality and sustained progress. Some recipients of NNPS Partnership Awards are repeat winners. Although they are not eligible to win prize money two years in a row, they continue to develop their leadership and programs of family and community involvement.
