 Westerville
City Schools: Adopt-A-School
Program
The
Adopt-a-School program, which has
been in existence since 1985, is a
collaborative program sponsored by
the Westerville Area Chamber of
Commerce and Westerville Schools.
This partnership program offers an
opportunity for a local business and
a local school to work together in a
collaborative fashion for the
benefit of both parties. The
long-term partnerships are
reciprocal in nature and both the
business partner and the school
benefit from the relationship.
Any business wishing to become an
Adopt-a-School partner can contact
Debbie Meissner at
meissned@wcsoh.org or
