April 22, 2026 – It’s the night Amarillo ISD celebrates our village! The annual Partners in Education banquet honors the many businesses, organizations, and individuals in our community who spend valuable volunteer hours supporting our schools and students by mentoring, professional job shadowing, providing student incentives for academic success, attendance, and effort, sponsoring major district-wide events, offering art and cultural opportunities, recognizing teachers, taking part in parent involvement programs, and more.

With more than 300 businesses and organizations involved in more than 500 education partnerships and more than 2,500 community members, grandparents, and friends volunteering in our schools, there are MORE ways than ever to help shape our community with strong schools.
