Home - Harford County Public Schools

The mission of the Business Advisory Committee is to increase engagement and strengthen the partnership between the school system and Harford County's local business community. Committee participants learn firsthand about the happenings in our schools and system-wide. They also have opportunities to identify ways in which their business may be able to support these efforts. The council is co-chaired by the HCPS Chief of Administration and HCPS Assistant Superintendent for Business Services. The committee meets approximately once per month in a virtual setting.

Committee Involvement
The Business Advisory Committee was instrumental in the creation of a systemwide school-based staff recognition program, HCPS Limelight, which kicked off in September 2021. The HCPS Limelight program honors employees who consistently demonstrate outstanding customer service. School administrators nominate one member of their staff each month to attend the virtual events held September through May. HCPS Limelight events are sponsored by a different Business Advisory Committee member each month, and the nominees are entered into a live drawing for a grand prize from that sponsor.
