Show your commitment to
our nation’s public schools

Nine out of 10 students in America attend public schools. Public Schools Week is a national celebration to highlight the great things happening in our nation’s public schools as well as bring attention to the critical issues facing our schools, students and educators. This initiative shows the strength and potential of public schools in a democratic society. Public Schools Week 2020 will be held February 24-28, 2020.

Take the Pledge:

Today, I pledge my support for public education. America’s public schools educate nine out of 10 students in the United States—more than 50 million–regardless of ability, race, wealth, language, religion or country of origin, to prepare them for future endeavors. By pledging to support our nation’s public schools , I also am pledging to strengthen the future of our country. Read Privacy Policy here. #PublicSchoolProud
