The Shawnee Educational Foundation was formed and activated in 1989 because our community believes that the quality of life in Shawnee is directly related to the quality of the education system. However, the community also believes that it is not realistic to anticipate that the State of Oklahoma will be able to provide all the funds necessary to under gird a strong and vital instructional program. The Foundation is dedicated to providing a reliable and perpetual source of needed supplemental funds; to foster excellence in educational programming and instructional techniques in Shawnee area schools.
