The City of Sandy Springs has been named one of the wealthiest cities in the US - and yet, a disparity exists within our distinctive and diverse municipality. More than 50% of our public school children are economically disadvantaged, correlating with a high drop-out rate for these students. The impact for our community is undeniable.

Sandy Springs Education Force (SSEF) believes that a solution exists: supporting our public schools and our students can make the difference between everyone's success and failure.

Our future --residential, economic, and quality of life-- depends on our students' educational accomplishments. If our kids achieve, our city will thrive and grow.

In an effort to support our public schools and our students, SSEF actively engages the resources of our civic leaders, community stakeholders, and businesses to deliver supplemental programs and services in our eleven public schools.

The Sandy Springs Education Force Vision is to be the model of excellence for creating community collaboratives that support educational and enrichment opportunities for public school students’ success throughout their academic school years and beyond.
