Our Community Partners
The Pasadena Unified School District
We collaborate with PUSD on many projects and programs, including parent education workshops, Open Enrollment, and numerous district level committees.
Pasadena Educational Foundation
PEF’s mission is to support, enhance, and supplement the programs, initiatives, and priorities of the PUSD. PEF, PEN, and the Pasadena Foothill Association of Realtors collaborate on the Realty Initiative, a certification program that provides local real estate professionals with in-depth knowledge about PUSD schools. PEF works with schools to set-up annual funds, awards scholarships to students, awards teacher grants, and supports the Robotics, Summer Enrichment, and other PUSD programs.
PEN provides trainings for PTA officers to increase their effectiveness in working with diverse populations, building cross cultural bridges, and facilitative leadership.
Pasadena-Foothills Association of Realtors (PFAR)
We partner with PFAR and the Pasadena Educational Foundation (PEF) to educate and connect local realtors with our schools. This includes a PUSD Certification class where realtors learn more about PUSD’s innovative programs, get resources for their clients, and tour a school.
CAP provides PUSD students with college preparation and planning support free of charge. Since parent support is critical to a student's successful college journey, PEN and CAP are partnering to educate parents about the college planning process.
