I can’t remember a time of my life when Greater Clark County Schools was not a part of my life. I walked the halls as a student, worked as an employee and coach, I am now a parent of a Greater Clark student, and have many friends within the walls of this district.

As the Executive Director of the Greater Clark County Schools Education Foundation, it brings me great joy to lead our team to serve the students, teachers, and schools of GCCS. I strive to be a leader whose passion shines in all of the many things we are able to support at the Foundation.

At the GCEF it is our goal to be a resource of support for our educators. Offering initiatives such as our Teacher Supply Bus and Creative Classroom Grants that put dollars back into our classrooms for our students. When educators think of our Foundation, my hope is that they will see us as an organization that sees, values, and appreciates them. Educators are investing in our future leaders daily and deserve to have a team of support around them.

At the GCEF it is also our goal to provide educational opportunities that may not fall within the district’s budget for our students. Providing funding for the Arts, Robotics, STEM, Science Camps, Scholarships, and much more! 
We are only able to provide these opportunities because of the support of our community. We are grateful for our Board of Directors who dedicate their time, talent, and treasure to serve on our team. We are grateful for our business and community support who chose to invest in our mission!

I would like to encourage YOU to be a part of our mission! Get involved today. We have opportunities to volunteer, serve on committees or our board, or the opportunity to support several fundraising initiatives we host throughout the year. Because, as we like to say around here, we are truly GREATER TOGETHER!
