 SEEDS = Student Educational and Economic Development Success
Simply put, SEEDS is about relationships and resources for school principals.
Our premise starts with the belief that well-supported administrators can effect real change at their schools. With SEEDS, principals receive funding of up to $50,000 for a school initiative, along with expert guidance from an educational consultant and a successful business CEO.
Together, they develop and execute an innovative plan to facilitate student achievement.
