History of the Partnership

Emory University's partnership with Fernbank Elementary and Druid Hills High School began under President James T. Laney. In 1986, the University in collaboration with the DeKalb Partners in Education, Fernbank Elementary and Druid Hills High School, established the Emory University partnership. In 2002, Cary Reynolds Elementary and Shamrock Middle Schools were added to the partnership.

The partnership is unique in that it is service oriented. The students, faculty and staff at each school have access to the facilities, research use, the Carlos Museum, tutors and many other opportunities. Over the years, more than 1,000 students have tutored. The pastoral counseling center provides family counseling, nursing students offer physical exams, and presentations on health and hygiene, and outstanding students and teachers at all four schools are recognized. As a result, the partnership was named one of the "100 Best for 1993-94" by the Partnerships in Education Journal.

One of the paramount contributions any great university can make is to be part of the entire community. Through this partnership between Emory, Fernbank, Cary Reynolds, Shamrock and Druid Hills, we have widened the circle of people who truly care about the advancement of children.
