About Community Partnership Schools (CPS)
Howard Bishop Middle School, A Community Partnership School
Howard Bishop Middle School, A Community Partnership School brings together high-quality academics, health care, counseling, support, mentoring and more—all where students and their families are comfortable: in their own school.
Our partnership at Howard Bishop Middle School represents a 25-year partnership among Alachua County Public Schools, Children’s Home Society of Florida (CHS), Florida Health Alachua County, Santa Fe College and the University of Florida to foster community collaboration and bring resources and opportunities to students and families around a middle school located in East Gainesville. By addressing the full range of barriers to learning — poverty, food insecurity, homelessness, health and wellness, and education quality – the CPS model strives to bring together high-quality academic support, health care, counseling, mentoring and more – right at the school, in order to embed resources within the community that it aims to serve.
