Mission
The core purpose of the GCCS Educational Foundation is to improve student outcomes and the learning of every student in every school, in collaboration with district leadership, by engaging the support of businesses and the community.
History
The Greater Clark Education Foundation was founded as a nonprofit corporation in 1999 to be a source of charitable funding for Greater Clark County Schools. In the last 25 years, we have grown from giving away several hundred dollars annually to providing over $130,000 in grants each year. That’s money that makes a difference for our students, educators and schools each year. Such programs as the Academies of Greater Clark that prepares our High School students for their post-secondary endeavors, Teacher Externships, Creative Classroom Grants, Theatre Art Grants, and VEX Robotics have enhanced the education of our students and enriched the careers of our educators. We are proud to have created our Teacher Supply Bus so that teachers have the opportunity to acquire needed classroom supplies at no cost to them. Our business partners and the Greater Clark communities continue to support
and advance our mission to impact the lives of every student in the Greater Clark County School district.
