| Our Commitment to Education |
For Cox, education is more than just a commitment — it’s a way of life for our employees and our business. Today, Cox provides complimentary cable television service and high-speed Internet access to schools and libraries in our service areas, investing more than $100 million through in-kind resources to improve education since 1989. Extending our commitment to education through industry programs like >Cable in the Classroom and Model Technology Schools, Cox is bringing high-end education technology to schools, exposing parents, students and teachers to a world of new learning opportunities. In 2003, Cox also became the technology partner for Boys & Girls Clubs of America, providing video and Internet technology at no cost to their centers in Cox markets. But, we don’t stop. Cox continuously seeks out national and community partnerships that can be extended within each service area, in addition to encouraging service areas to create local education programs that fit the needs of specific communities. |
| How We Started |
Our entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to education is rooted in Cox Enterprises Inc., the parent company of Cox Communications, which traces its history back to 1898. From school teacher to founder of the company, James M. Cox served three terms as governor of Ohio and ran in the 1920 U.S. presidential election as the Democratic nominee. In that same year, Gov. Cox purchased his first newspaper, the Dayton (OH) Evening News. More than a century later, Cox Enterprises’ annual revenues exceed $10 billion, with extensive interests in newspapers, television, radio and automobile auctions. |
