Who We Are
Mission:
The Shelby County Schools Education Foundation exists to support, enhance, and recognize excellence in education.
We support excellence in education through special programs, including: Professional Development Support, National Board Certification, Career and Technical Education Program, and Healthy Schools Initiative.
We enhance excellence in education through grant programs available to teachers, departments, and students.
We recognize excellence in education through our Teacher of the Year Celebration, and our Annual Showcase of Schools.
We believe that public education is at the heart of a thriving community, and funding beyond the level of government resources is essential for top quality public schools.
