​THERE ARE MORE THAN 16,000 REASONS TO SUPPORT EDUCATION IN CATAWBA COUNTY... AND EACH ONE OF THEM HAS A NAME!

our mission

The  Catawba County Schools Education Foundation is helping our students, teachers, and schools to be competitive, relevant, and absolutely best-in-class. ​We provide scholarships and grants for our teachers to learn new, engaging, and research-based strategies to continue to improve student success. We also award college scholarships to Catawba County Schools seniors who plan to become an educator themselves. The support that the Education Foundation provides also helps attract and retain the most engaging, inspiring, and empowering teachers to our school system.
