Purpose and Mission
The PowerEd Cabarrus Educational Alliance is committed to the educational journey of all students through our initiative Grow Our Own. By fostering partnerships in the community and generating essential resources, we strive to elevate the educational experience for every learner, promoting lifelong learning and community involvement in Cabarrus County.
The Grow our Own initiative is aimed at serving students with two targeted purposes:
Together, we aspire to create a full circle vision for our community.
"Nothing better defines what we are and what we will become than the
education of our children." – George H.W. Bush
Support for Aspiring Educators
PowerEd Cabarrus Educational Alliance’s first initiative will be to support aspiring educators by awarding college scholarships to students pursuing degrees in education with the intent of returning to Cabarrus County Schools to launch their career in teaching.
Secondly, we support our classroom teachers with targeted classroom grants that advance our three PowerEd Priorities.
