Our Mission
Since its inception in 2001, The Education Foundation has provided over $6.5 million in grants, scholarships, and special programs.
With your help, The Foundation is bridging the economic gap, bringing programs into our schools that inspire, challenge and expand the minds of our youth and providing unique opportunities for our students that could not otherwise be funded.
Rockport Fulton ISD is now the most progressive educational leader in the Coastal Bend, a leader other districts seek to emulate.
Our Vision
We are here to help the Rockport Fulton ISD anyway we can, including going out and getting grants.
The quality of education provided to our children directly impacts the quality and growth of our community, our state, and our nation. Our focus, therefore, is to support programs that go beyond what public funds can provide in order to directly enhance students’ knowledge, thinking skills, and career preparation in creative, innovative ways. Your donations help support a variety of programs and classes from English to ROTC to Welding.
What we have achieved
To date, The Education Foundation has distributed 6.5 million dollars combined in teaching and campus grants, special programs grants, scholarships for graduating seniors of Rockport Fulton High School and programs that celebrate and recognize their accomplishments.
