FOUR WAYS YOU FOSTER EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION

In 1981, parents and community leaders had a dream – a vision of enriched opportunities for students and teachers through a privately funded organization. Due to the diligent efforts of these volunteers, the Mercer Island Schools Foundation was formed. The Foundation has become the catalyst for the Mercer Island community to guarantee every teacher has access to the most up-to-date, innovative educational materials that guarantee exceptional teaching and learning experiences for every student. Donations to the Mercer Island Schools Foundation have continued to grow. Families and businesses throughout the Mercer Island community have invested more than $23M creating an ongoing legacy of excellence in education. The tremendous success of the organization lies in the simple fact that the Mercer Island Schools Foundation was born in a community that places value on quality education.
