Partnership for Successful Schools
What is the Partnership for Successful Schools?
The Partnership for Successful Schools was created to deliver practical, real-world programs and strategies that focus community and employer energy on school improvement efforts. Since 1992 the goal of the organization has been to strengthen the bottom line of each community by building effective partnerships to improve schools, accelerate student achievement and addressing the need for a more highly skilled workforce.
What Did the Partnership for Successful Schools Do?
The Partnership has provided research, policy development, public information campaigns and has worked directly with schools and school districts to improve student achievement. Recognized statewide and nationally for its work, the merger with NewCities starts a new chapter in the life of education.
How Do I Get Help From The Partnership?
The NewCities Institute, created in 2001 by the Kentucky League of Cities, and the Partnership for Successful Schools, formed in 1991 by state business leaders, have merged their work and become the Partnership at NewCities. The new organization is focused on giving local leaders a stronger voice in the most critical element of economic and job growth – school performance.

“The New Cities Institute and its parent, the Kentucky League of Cities, are world-class organizations and the Partnership board is proud to be undertaking this merger with them. The New Cities Institute also is a great philosophical match for the Partnership. We believe the Partnership’s work of improving education outcomes for all students by supporting and encouraging rigor and relevance in Kentucky’s classrooms will be greatly expanded through our combined efforts.”
Founding Member of the Partnership for Successful Schools, Billy Harper
