The Peachtree Corners Business Association (PCBA) has awarded a check for $500 to The NHS Foundation of Excellence (NHSFE) at the January 2024 Business After Hours Speaker Series Event.

The mission of the NHS Foundation of Excellence includes raising funds to help generate resources necessary to provide the level of excellence and education all students deserve.

NHS is a Title I school and offers the International Baccalaureate® Diploma Programme curriculum.

The school’s population is diverse. Approximately 52% of students are Hispanic, over 28% are African American, 13% are White, nearly 4% are Asian and 3% identify as Other. Two-thirds of these students qualify for free and reduced lunch. It is estimated that over 35 different languages are spoken at home.

“The PCBA is proud to donate a check for $500 to NHSFE in support of their belief that all students are capable of being successful. Our Outreach Committee and Board are impressed with NHSFE programs of excellence in academics, arts and athletics,” said PCBA President Lisa Proctor.   

“With PCBA’s continuous commitment to supporting our community in a meaningful way, we are excited to be a part of the success of their students,” she added.

Funds for the PCBA Community Outreach program are raised throughout the year from PCBA membership, sponsorship and annual charity events. 

Donations and scholarships are awarded at monthly events so members can learn more about these organizations.
