A high-quality public education for each child.
We advance the role of families and communities in securing a high quality public education for each child in Pitt County.
At Parents for Public Schools of Pitt County (PPS-PC), our mission is clear and unwavering: to advance the role of families and communities in securing a high-quality public education for each child. This mission drives our programs, partnerships, and advocacy work every day—and the impact is visible across Pitt County.

Every dollar matters. Every voice counts. Every child deserves our commitment.
