Business Alliance

"LINKING SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY"

The mission of the South Garner High School Business Alliance is to link the resources from community stakeholders to enhance the School-to-Career transition of every student, as they become responsible, productive citizens and leaders within the community.

The Business Alliance will be comprised of business representatives, students, parents, and community volunteers. We will collaborate to provide the resources to support the South Garner High School student community as they become critical thinkers and reflective learners. Our goal is to assist students in developing an attitude of caring and compassion, a demand for inquiry and understanding, and a desire to contribute in a constructive way to the building of stronger communities, both locally and globally.

COLLABORATION

The South Garner High School Business Alliance is a collaborative partnership between business leaders throughout the community and educators at South Garner High School. The Business Alliance provides support and workplace realities for teachers and students. The career and life expertise of business leaders provides students with the relevancy between education and future careers. The South Garner High School Business Alliance will meet on a monthly basis to develop action steps towards meeting the goals aligned with the School Improvement Plan.

SUPPORT

The South Garner High School Business Alliance will provide expertise, guidance, mentorship, and service to South Garner High School students. Through the support, dedication and commitment from our volunteers, we are able to provide a variety of opportunities to our students that help them understand the skills needed to become successful in their future.
