Douglas County Partners In Education

Connecting community resources with schools in Douglas County to ensure the academic success. Partners in Education of Douglas County, Inc.

(PIE) began in 1996 as a partnership between the Douglas County School System and the Douglas County Chamber of Commerce. The PIE program is designed to provide a hands-on opportunity for local businesses and organizations to share their expertise, time, resources, and ideas to enrich the academic experience for students in the community. All PIE relationships are individually designed to have a positive impact on student achievement and to promote college and career readiness. Any business or organization in the Douglas County area is invited to participate in the PIE program. There are no dues or fees to become an active partner in education. The only thing needed is an interest in student achievement and the willingness to become involved in the program. Opportunities to participate in PIE are virtually unlimited.

🍂 Fall Break is almost here!

Douglas County students and teachers will be out of school October 12–16, but supporting our students doesn’t have to take a break. 💙

Fall Break is a great opportunity for local businesses, organizations, and community members to think about simple ways to support students and families while school is out.

You can make a difference by donating easy meals or snacks to organizations serving local families, supporting programs that provide food assistance, sponsoring activities or experiences for students, donating needed supplies, or simply checking in with the school or community organization you partner with to ask, “What do you need right now?”

Sometimes the most meaningful partnerships start with that one question.

We hope our students, teachers, and school staff enjoy a well-deserved Fall Break, and we’re grateful for a community that continues showing up for them both inside and outside of the classroom. 💙

🍕 October is National Pizza Month, and your pizza night can do a little more this year!

PIE and Papa Johns Pizza are teaming up again to help support Douglas County Georgia Schools, and getting involved is as easy as ordering pizza.

When you order from Papa Johns online or by phone, use promo code PIE4PIE, and 20% of qualifying sales will be donated to Partners in Education to help us support DCSS students.

This partnership isn't new either! Papa Johns has continued to show what it means to be a community partner, working alongside PIE to turn something as simple as ordering dinner into an opportunity to give back. 💙

So, during National Pizza Month, you've got an extra reason to make it a pizza night. 🍕😉

📅 The PIE4PIE campaign runs through June 30, 2027.

🏫💙 Our latest Tour of Schools gave us a whole new perspective, thanks to some pretty amazing student leaders!

We recently had the opportunity to visit Dorsett Shoals Elementary School, and this tour was a little different. Instead of simply touring the school, we broke into groups and let the students take the lead!

Our student tour guides walked us through their school, shared what makes Dorsett Shoals special, and gave our PIE Partners the chance to experience the school through the eyes of the students who learn there every day.

👏 A BIG shoutout to the awesome students who stepped up as leaders and did such a fantastic job guiding our groups!

And a special thank you to Principal Kelly Brown and the Dorsett Shoals team for welcoming us and creating such a meaningful experience.

Tour of Schools events help connect our community directly with our schools, giving PIE Partners a firsthand look at the people, programs, and opportunities they can support.

🏫 When was the last time you stepped inside one of our local schools?

As a PIE Partner, it's easy to hear about the needs of our schools. Tour of Schools gives you the opportunity to actually see them.

Our next tour at Dorsett Shoals Elementary School is a chance to meet the people working with Douglas County students every day, see what's happening inside classrooms, and better understand where your time, resources, expertise, or connections could make an impact.

And sometimes, the best partnership ideas happen simply because a business or community leader walks through a school and thinks, "We can help with that."

That's exactly why we encourage our PIE Partners to attend Tour of Schools.

📅 Wednesday, September 23
⏰ 8:30 a.m.
📍 Dorsett Shoals Elementary School

Thank you to Gilbane Building, our Tour of Schools sponsor, for helping make opportunities like this possible.

👉 RSVP at www.piedc.org/events and come see partnership in action!

💙 This is what partnership looks like!

We love seeing our PIE Partners step into our schools and share their knowledge, experience, and encouragement with students!

Recently, Monique Harris Pinkney had the opportunity to visit Dr. LaToya Thomas’s AP Business and Personal Finance class at New Manchester High School, where she shared her experience as an author and entrepreneur and talked with students about their own creative business ideas.

Opportunities like this give students the chance to learn from community members with real-world experience while making meaningful connections beyond the classroom.

Thank you, Monique, for investing your time in our students, and thank you to Dr. Thomas for creating opportunities that help prepare and inspire our future leaders! 💙

We love seeing PIE partnerships in action!
