The partnership is made up of Cliffs Natural Resources and the four western Marquette County school districts: Ishpeming, Negaunee, N.I.C.E. and Republic-Michigamme. The partnership was formed by Cliffs as a way of becoming involved with, and supporting education and recognizing academic achievement in the area.
