ABOUT US
Our foundation wants to enhance the quality of education in the Magnolia Public Schools by procuring and providing the necessary funds for worthwhile programs and to recognize and reward the achievements of students, faculty, staff, parents and others providing contributions to the school district. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is completely independent from the Magnolia School District. It is not the purpose of this foundation to replace traditional school funding. Our foundation awarded 16 individual scholarships and 12 teacher grants during the 2019-2024 timeframe.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission is to raise private funds for resources, programs and opportunities that are not available to the students and teachers through the district’s normal operating budget.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to underwrite excellence in the Magnolia Public schools by providing students, kindergarten through twelfth grade, with national competitive educational experiences designed to help them reach their full potential.
"The Magnolia Public Schools Foundation will be a valuable resource for both our school and community. The foundation provides the opportunity to not only invest in the future, but demonstrate to our students the importance of giving back to a community that so generously supported them."
John Ward - Magnolia School District Superintendent
GET INVOLVED
MAKING A DIFFERENCE ONE STUDENT AT A TIME
GRANTS
Giving our teachers the ability to further educational experiences for their students and help them reach their full potential.
A majority of the grants support will be undesignated, enabling grant applicants to dream big and seek support for innovative and pioneering programs. Our grant funds can be designated for a specific purpose, program, or department and named in honor or memory of an individual or group. Teachers will be let known of any grants available.
Our grant committee will meet with individuals/businesses interested in developing a grant and together build the grant with the parameters of the grantor's choice.
