The San Diego City Council and Mayor proclaimed June 22, 2022 to be PIQE 35th Anniversary Day in San Diego. The journey began 35 years ago when the founder’s put passion into practice and ignited our commitment to social justice and educational equity. Today, their mission continues and is ever more crucial as they empower families to take an active role in their student’s education while building family-teacher-community partnerships and peer-to-peer networks.
