The Wake County Public School System has numerous community partners who volunteer
in our schools each day, working one-on-one with students to help them reach success.
Volunteers serve as literacy and math coaches, mentors, and business partners,
providing valuable support to our schools. We urge the entire community to get
involved in our schools to help us better serve all of our students.
History
At the urging of the community, the Board of Education established Goal 2003
in 1998: By 2003, 95 percent of students tested will be at or above grade level
as measured by the N.C. End-of-Grade testing at grades 3 and 8. To reach this
goal, schools, parents, businesses, churches and the community must work together
to meet the needs of our children.
