About Us

Our Public Schools Work is a nonprofit multimedia initiative to support Indiana public schools by demonstrating their incalculable contribution to the quality of life in the Hoosier State. Together let’s celebrate the accomplishments, achievements, innovations, efficiencies, and impact of Indiana’s public schools.
