Grantee Spotlight: Partnership Schools in Cleveland

Partnership Schools got its start in New York City where they turned around several low-performing Catholic schools. In Cleveland, their initial goal is to preserve two of the area’s finest Catholic academic institutions-St. Thomas Aquinas and Archbishop Lyke. The Howley Foundation served as the lead funder in bringing Partnership Schools to Cleveland and engaged other community leaders to raise the remainder of the $3 million needed to implement the Partnership model at the two Cleveland Schools. This video highlights the perspectives of teachers and staff in the first year with Partnership Schools.
