Education Foundation

Our Mission:
To Support the District in the creation of meaningful programs, in addressing facility limitations, and in filling the resource gap between funding and learning.


Our Vision
To provide opportunities for enhanced learning.


Our Goals:
1. Expand and support educational excellence.
2. Partner with the community.
3. Build the endowment.


Why Should I Contribute
The Foundation provides opportunities for employers and students that are not provided for by public tax dollars. Foundations are able to offer increased learning opportunities and educational experiences that a school district may not ordinarily fund or had to discontinue funding. The Foundation supports district goals and enhances the learning experience in the classroom and beyond. Your support is imperative to the success and development of the Foundation.
