Partnership Pathways
The Quincy School~Community
Partners come in all shapes and sizes. We have Fortune 500 companies who
have been sending mentors into our schools for years. We have local
mom-and-pop shops who help out with school cleanups and bring the pizza to
feed everyone when the library is newly painted. There is a place for
you and your business, regardless of your size or how you wish to give.
Depending on your business needs, we have four different programs. We also have four different levels of giving. This means that regardless of how you want to give, or the level you are able to give, we really do have a program that is tailored to your business giving needs.

Partnership Pathways
There are four pathways to giving: Career Connections, Site Support, Student Support and President's Path. Each of these pathways provides a unique way to give back to our schools. Read all about our Pathways.
