Partners
In Education
The
Madisonville-Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce and the Hopkins County
Board of Education's School-to-work Initiative are sponsoring the "Partners
in Education Program". Numerous businesses in Hopkins County
have shown their support and enthusiasm for education through their involvement
in a reciprocal relationship between education and business designed to
build a committment to the future of Hopkins County. Each partner has
signed a contract indicating in which projects and activities they will
be involved. Included on this contract is the name of the individual who
will coordinate these activities and projects for each business. Realizing
that economic development for our community is integrally linked to the
status of our educational system, these businesses understand that excellence
can be achieved if everyone works together. If you are not a partner
