Together, we can build our foundation
The Roane County Schools Education Foundation raises funds to provide its students with the best academic education and experience for its students and provide teachers and staff with the tools they need to create a thriving learning environment.
Our mission is to work collectively with our Roane County Schools to provide a superior educational experience for our students and teachers. Our role is to raise community, private, and public awareness, as well as support and funding for programs beyond the established criteria for public education. Together, we can make Roane County Schools the standard for excellence in education.
The Roane County Schools Education Foundation goes beyond the limitations of public funding to strengthen our schools. Through community collaboration, we enhance the academic journey for students and empower educators and staff with the resources essential for fostering a vibrant learning atmosphere. As a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the Roane County Schools Education Foundation is committed to enriching the educational landscape of our district.
