Annual Event

BCPS hosts its largest ever Partnership Fair

Annual event brings together schools, offices, and current and potential partners

BCPS welcomed more than 90 organizations to its 2026 Partnership Fair, held on July 22 at Pikesville High School. At the fifth annual event, current and potential partners met with hundreds of school representatives to discuss new opportunities to contribute to school and student success. BCPS Superintendent Dr. Bill Heiser shared welcoming remarks and mingled with school and partner representatives.

BCPS partnerships augment staff capacity, enable innovative learning opportunities, and connect students to authentic learning and development through mentoring, volunteering, student work experiences, service learning, and scholarships.

This year's fair was supported by The Education Foundation of Baltimore County Public Schols, Inc., and lunch for participants was sponsored by First Financial Federal Credit Union, a longtime BCPS partner. Event organizers thank the administration and staff of Pikesville High School for creating such a welcoming atmosphere. More photos from the fair can be found on Flickr.

Partnership Fair participants included county and state agencies, BCPS bargaining units, BCPS offices, local cultural organizations, child advocacy groups, area colleges and universities, education advocacy groups, disability service providers, youth empowerment groups, mentoring and tutorial services, financial institutions, health care providers, mental health service providers, faith-based organizations, sports organizations, and area nonprofits.
