Pride in Public Education
Campaign
In 1994 NJEA initiated PRIDE in
Public Education, a campaign aimed
at sharing the successes of New
Jersey’s public schools and building
community support and involvement.
NJEA provides grants for all kinds
of local and county community involvement
projects (many of which
schools are already doing).
Thousands of PRIDE projects over
the years have brought schools and
communities together to demonstrate
just how great our public
schools are.
One of the most important aspects
of PRIDE projects is the recognition
and publicity they often produce.
The more a community knows about
how good their schools are, the
more likely it is to get involved and
offer support
