Dickson County Chamber of Commerce - Education

What Are the Goals of the Education Edge Partnership?

Education Edge Dickson County developed through federal funding to facilitate partnerships between educators, civic groups, citizens, parents, local government, and the business community. The main goals are the following:

  • To set high academic standards and make sure they are met
  • To make school more rigorous and relevant
  • To get the entire community involved in education
  • To improve schooling for all of Tennessee’s students.

To achieve these goals locally, we have targeted several areas that we think will enhance our schools and our community: character development, providing career awareness opportunities, and developing community coalitions to support education
