Welcome to the homepage of the Potomac Regional Education Partnership (PREP).
"Improving education is not just the
responsibility of teachers and students
but of every person who cares about our future." "PREP is clearly a part of an emerging pattern
[of increasing linkages between public education and the world of higher
education], and you are adding a new dimension to this development with
your strong regional focus. Please continue to do the good work that you
are doing to build these new partnerships for excellence in education. You
are making a profound difference in the education of our children and the
future economic success of our Potomac region." Annual Report and Business PlansPREP's first annual report is now available and can now be downloaded from this web site.
