Community Engagement and Innovative Partnerships

We are the Connectors. The Catalysts. The Game-Changers.

We are the Division of Community Engagement and Innovative Partnerships. Here, ideas spark. Action leads. We unlock possibilities, open new paths, and turn “what’s next” into reality.

Our All-In Departments:

•Communications: Through strong partnerships, multilingual access, and innovative campaigns, we foster a vibrant culture where every stakeholder is informed, connected, and inspired to proudly champion the district’s story. We strengthen student success.

•DeKalb Schools Educational Foundation: We fund the future by building strategic partnerships so every graduate leaves with purpose, a plan, and the skills to thrive by transforming possibility into reality for our students.

•Family and Community Engagement (GED and ESL included): We stand alongside families, empowering them as true partners in education. Through creative programs and wraparound support, we nurture the whole child because students rise higher when home and school rise together.

•Grants and Partnerships: We connect schools with local, state, and national partners to secure resources, ignite innovation, and prepare every student for college, careers, and life.

Together, we don’t just make a difference, we define it. Discover #TheDeKalbDifference.
