ELEVATE Coweta Students was created with a simple purpose: To elevate our students to success in school, in our community and in life.
Making Coweta County stronger by coordinating programs, people and support to keep students engaged, involved, and moving toward success.
While supporting students throughout the Coweta County School system, we currently have ELEVATE Site Coordinators in the following six schools:
See where and how our Site Coordinators are able to help the students of Coweta County through our dedicated ELEVATE rooms, embedded in six Coweta school campuses. This allows us to support our students directly, when and where they need us, so they never have to go through their struggles alone.

We are in the final stretch of our 100 Champions in 100 Days Challenge, and we need YOU to help us finish strong! 🎯 We are incredibly grateful for the 18 new Monthly Champions who have joined our challenge, and we are looking for 82 more amazing individuals to participate! Coweta students don't just need support during fundraising season. They need someone in their corner every single day, when a crisis hits, when motivation runs low, when basic needs go unmet.

Every day in school matters, and we want to make sure nothing stands in the way of your student showing up and thriving. 🌟 Need support?
